Dynamical cluster approximation within an augmented plane-wave framework: Spectral properties of SrVO$_3$

Plane-wave based electronic structure calculations for correlated materials using dynamical mean-field theory and projected local orbitals

The description of realistic strongly correlated systems has recently advanced through the combination of density functional theory in the local density approximation (LDA) and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). This LDA+DMFT method is able to treat both strongly correlated insulators and metals. Several interfaces between LDA and DMFT have been used, such as (N-th order) Linear Muffin Tin Orbitals or Maximally localized Wannier Functions. Such schemes are however either complex in use or additional simplifications are often performed (i.e., the atomic sphere approximation). We present an alt…

Implementation of the LDA+U method using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave basis

We provide a straightforward and efficient procedure to combine LDA+U total energy functional with the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method. A detailed derivation of the LDA+U Kohn-Sham type equations is presented for the augmented plane wave basis set, and a simple ``second-variation'' based procedure for self-consistent LDA+U calculations is given. The method is applied to calculate electronic structure and magnetic properties of NiO and Gd. The magnetic moments and band eigenvalues obtained are in very good quantitative agreement with previous full potential LMTO calculatio…

Comment on ''Implementation of the LDA+U method using the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave basis''

By this Comment we would like to point out that the authors of Ref. 1 have ignored the orbital magnetism that makes the theory irrelevant to the real systems like NiO.It causes that the calculated result for the magnetic moment of NiO substantially disagrees with the experimental observation.

A Self-consistent DFT+DMFT scheme in the Projector Augmented Wave : Applications to Cerium, Ce2O3 and Pu2O3 with the Hubbard I solver and comparison to DFT+U

An implementation of full self-consistency over the electronic density in the DFT+DMFT framework on the basis of a plane wave-projector augmented wave (PAW) DFT code is presented. It allows for an accurate calculation of the total energy in DFT+DMFT within a plane wave approach. In contrast to frameworks based on the maximally localized Wannier function, the method is easily applied to f electron systems, such as cerium, cerium oxide (Ce2O3) and plutonium oxide (Pu2O3). In order to have a correct and physical calculation of the energy terms, we find that the calculation of the self-consistent …

Dynamical Mean-Field Theory within an Augmented Plane-Wave Framework: Assessing Electronic Correlations in the Iron Pnictide LaFeAsO

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 electroni…

Accurate projected augmented wave datasets for BaFe$_2$As$_2$

By carefully choosing parameters and including more semi-core orbitals as valence electrons, we have constructed a high quality projected augmented wave (PAW) dataset that yields results comparable to existing full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave calculations. The dataset was then applied to BaFe$_2$As$_2$ to study the effects of different levels of structure optimization, as well as different choices of exchange-correlation functionals. It is found that the LDA exchange-correlation functional fails to find the correct SDW-AFM ground state under full optimization, while PBE exchange-…

Charge order in Magnetite. An LDA+$U$ study

The electronic structure of the monoclinic structure of Fe$_3$O$_4$ is studied using both the local density approximation (LDA) and the LDA+$U$. The LDA gives only a small charge disproportionation, thus excluding that the structural distortion should be sufficient to give a charge order. The LDA+$U$ results in a charge disproportion along the c-axis in good agreement with the experiment. We also show how the effective $U$ can be calculated within the augmented plane wave methods.

Electronic structure and the Fermi surface of ThRhIn$_5$ in comparison with uranium and transuranium compounds

By using a relativistic linear augmented-plane-wave method, we clarify energy band structure and the Fermi surfaces of recently synthesized thorium compound ThRhIn$_5$. We find several cylindrical Fermi surface sheets, which are similar to those of CeTIn$_5$ (T=Ir and Co), PuTGa$_5$ (T=Co and Rh), and AmCoGa$_5$. We discuss such similarity among the compounds including rare-earth or actinide ions with different $f$ electron numbers.

Ground State Properties of Simple Elements from GW Calculations

A novel self-consistent implementation of Hedin's GW perturbation theory is introduced. This finite-temperature method uses Hartree-Fock wave functions to represent Green's function. GW equations are solved with full potential linear augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method at each iteration of a self-consistent cycle. With our approach we are able to calculate total energy as a function of the lattice parameter. Ground state properties calculated for Na, Al, and Si compare well with experimental data.
