LDA + DMFT implemented with the pseudopotential plane - wave approach

چکیده
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-constrained Wannier functions for the correlated orbitals. We apply this scheme to two prototype systems: a paramagnetic correlated metal, SrVO3, and a paramagnetic correlated system, V2O3, which exhibits a metal-insulator transition. Comparison with available Linear-MuffinTin-Orbital (LMTO) plus DMFT calculations demonstrate the suitability of the joint DMFT pseudopotential-plane-wave approach to describe the electronic properties of strongly correlated materials. This opens the way to future developments using the pseudopotential-plane-wave DMFT approach to address also total-energy properties, such as structural properties. ‡ Present address: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO 80401, USA LDA+DMFT with pseudopotentials 2

Cohesive properties of group-III nitrides: A comparative study of all-electron and pseudopotential calculations using the generalized gradient approximation
We compare the performance of generalized gradient approximations ~GGA’s! and the local-density approximation ~LDA! in density-functional calculations of the cohesive properties of cubic AlN, GaN, and InN. Employing the widely adopted pseudopotential approach, the calculated data are found to depend significantly on the treatment of the core states of the group-III ions, hampering a conclusive ...
متن کاملNonorthogonal generalized Wannier function pseudopotential plane-wave method
We present a reformulation of the plane-wave pseudopotential method for insulators. This new approach allows us to perform density-functional calculations by solving directly for ‘‘nonorthogonal generalized Wannier functions’’ rather than extended Bloch states. We outline the theory on which our method is based and present test calculations on a variety of systems. Comparison of our results wit...

متن کاملAccurate hyperfine couplings for C59N
We identify the shortcomings of existing ab initio quantum chemistry calculations for the hyperfine couplings in the recently characterized azafullerene, C59N. Standard gaussian basis sets in the context of all–electron calculations are insufficient to resolve the spin density near the cores of the atoms. Using the Projector Augmented Wave method implemented on top of a standard pseudopotential...

The LDA+DMFT approach merges conventional band structure theory in the local density approximation (LDA) with a state-of-the-art many-body technique, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). This new computational scheme has recently become a powerful tool for ab initio investigations of real materials with strong electronic correlations. In this paper an introduction to the basic ideas and the ...
