氮化钛--Mott转变阈值处的相关金属

Titanium Nitride - a correlated metal at the threshold of a Mott transition

H. Allmaier, L. Chioncel, E. Arrigoni

摘要:

我们使用电子结构和多体计算相结合的方法研究了化学计量比氮化钛(TiN)中的电子关联效应。在第一步中,N阶松饼罐轨道技术被用来获得参数的低能量哈密顿在Ti-d(t2 g)带流形。库仑相互作用U和Hund规则交换参数J使用受约束的局部密度近似计算来估计。最后,多体问题的变分聚类方法的框架内解决。我们的计算与不同的光谱结果的比较强调电子相关在这种材料中的重要性。特别是,我们的研究结果自然地解释了在费米能级(赝能隙)的TiN态密度的抑制在莫特金属-绝缘体过渡的接近。

英文摘要:

We investigate electron correlation effects in stoichiometric Titanium Nitride (TiN) using a combination of electronic structure and many-body calculations. In a first step, the Nth-order muffin tin orbital technique is used to obtain parameters for the low-energy Hamiltonian in the Ti-d(t2g)-band manifold. The Coulomb-interaction U and the Hund's rule exchange parameter J are estimated using a constrained Local-Density-Approximation calculation. Finally, the many-body problem is solved within the framework of the Variational Cluster Approach. Comparison of our calculations with different spectroscopy results stresses the importance of electronic correlation in this material. In particular, our results naturally explain a suppression of the TiN density of states at the Fermi level (pseudogap) in terms of the proximity to a Mott metal-insulator transition.
