Nonlocal Coulomb interactions and metal-insulator transition in Ti2O3: a cluster LDA+DMFT approach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an ab initio quantum theory of the metal-insulator transition in Ti2O3. The recently developed cluster LDA+DMFT scheme is applied to describe the many-body features of this compound. The conventional single site DMFT cannot reproduce a low temperature insulating phase for any reasonable values of the Coulomb interaction. We show that the nonlocal Coulomb interactions and the strong chemical bonding within the Ti-Ti pair is the origin of the small gap insulating ground state of Ti2O3.

Mott-hubbard metal-insulator transition in paramagnetic V2O3: an LDA+DMFT(QMC) study.
The electronic properties of paramagnetic V2O3 are investigated by the computational scheme LDA+DMFT(QMC). This approach merges the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) and uses quantum Monte Carlo simulations (QMC) to solve the effective Anderson impurity model of DMFT. Starting with the crystal structure of metallic V2O3 and insulating (V0.962Cr0.038)2O3 w...
متن کاملPressure-induced metal-insulator transition in LaMnO3 is not of Mott-Hubbard type.
Calculations employing the local density approximation combined with static and dynamical mean field theories (LDA+U and LDA+DMFT) indicate that the metal-insulator transition observed at 32 GPa in paramagnetic LaMnO3 at room temperature is not a Mott-Hubbard transition, but is caused by orbital splitting of the majority-spin eg bands. For LaMnO3 to be insulating at pressures below 32 GPa, both...

In this thesis, we were interested in the interplay between the spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations in condensedmatter physics. The spin-orbit interaction has indeed been found to play a significant role in the properties of a growingvariety of materials, such as the topological band insulators or the iridium-based 5d-transition metal oxides. Particularly,strontium irida...
متن کاملCalculation of photoemission spectra of the doped Mott insulator La 1 − x Sr x TiO 3 using LDA + DMFT ( QMC )
The spectral properties of La1−xSrxTiO3, a doped Mott insulator with strong Coulomb correlations, are calculated with the ab initio computational scheme LDA+DMFT(QMC). It starts from the non-interacting electronic band structure as calculated by the local density approximation (LDA), and introduces the missing correlations by the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), using numerically exact quant...
متن کاملLDA + DMFT implemented with the pseudopotential plane - wave approach
We present a joint implementation of dynamical-mean-field theory (DMFT) with the pseudopotential plane-wave approach, via Wannier functions, for the determination of the electronic properties of strongly correlated materials. The scheme uses, as input for the DMFT calculations, a tight-binding Hamiltonian obtained from the planewave calculations by projecting onto atomic-centered symmetry-const...
