摘要:

我们提出了一种方法,结合局域密度近似(LDA)和动力学平均场论(DMFT)的框架内的全位势线性增广平面波(FLAPW)方法。关联壳层的类Wannier函数通过将局部轨道投影到位于一定能量窗口内的一组Bloch本征态上来构造。屏蔽库仑相互作用和Hund的耦合计算从第一原理约束RPA方案。我们应用LDA+DMFT实现,结合连续时间量子Monte-Carlo,研究LaFeAsO中的电子关联。我们的研究结果支持了具有中间相关性的金属的物理图像。Fe 3d带的质量重整化的平均值约为1.6,与从光电子能谱实验推断的图像合理一致。文献中报道的不同LDA+DMFT计算(技术上都是正确的)之间的差异有两个原因:i)在这些计算中使用的相互作用参数的具体值和ii)选择代表Fe 3d态的Wannier轨道的局部化程度,其中应用了多体项。后者是一个基本的问题,在多体计算的应用,如DMFT,在一个现实的设置。我们提供了强有力的证据表明,DMFT近似是更准确,更直接的实施时,良好的本地化轨道构造从一个大的能量窗口,包括Fe-3d,As-4p和O-2 p,并指出了几个困难与使用扩展的Wannier函数与低能铁带。这些问题中的一些具有重要的物理后果,特别是关于对洪德耦合的敏感性。

英文摘要:

We present an approach that combines the local density approximation (LDA) and the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) in the framework of the full-potential linear augmented plane waves (FLAPW) method. Wannier-like functions for the correlated shell are constructed by projecting local orbitals onto a set of Bloch eigenstates located within a certain energy window. The screened Coulomb interaction and Hund's coupling are calculated from a first-principle constrained RPA scheme. We apply this LDA+DMFT implementation, in conjunction with continuous-time quantum Monte-Carlo, to study the electronic correlations in LaFeAsO. Our findings support the physical picture of a metal with intermediate correlations. The average value of the mass renormalization of the Fe 3d bands is about 1.6, in reasonable agreement with the picture inferred from photoemission experiments. The discrepancies between different LDA+DMFT calculations (all technically correct) which have been reported in the literature are shown to have two causes: i) the specific value of the interaction parameters used in these calculations and ii) the degree of localization of the Wannier orbitals chosen to represent the Fe 3d states, to which many-body terms are applied. The latter is a fundamental issue in the application of many-body calculations, such as DMFT, in a realistic setting. We provide strong evidence that the DMFT approximation is more accurate and more straightforward to implement when well-localized orbitals are constructed from a large energy window encompassing Fe-3d, As-4p and O-2p, and point out several difficulties associated with the use of extended Wannier functions associated with the low-energy iron bands. Some of these issues have important physical consequences, regarding in particular the sensitivity to the Hund's coupling.
