摘要:

约束占据自洽场($Δ$ SCF)方法和多体微扰理论(MBPT)是从第一性原理获得电子激发的两种方法。使用这两种不同的方法,我们研究了O $1s$核心激发,这对于表征过渡金属氧化物和发展强相关理论变得越来越重要。有趣的是,我们发现,$Δ$ SCF的方法,在其目前的单粒子形式,系统地低估了所选氧化物的前边缘强度,尽管它在弱相关系统的成功。相比之下,MBPT中的Bethe-Salpeter方程预测的线形要好得多。这启发我们重新审视X射线激发的多电子动力学。我们发现,单粒子$Δ$ SCF方法可以通过显式计算多体跃迁振幅进行校正,产生与实验非常吻合的X射线谱。我们的研究为物理学和材料科学在Bethe-Salpether方程之外准确预测X射线近边缘光谱指纹铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Constrained-occupancy self-consistent-field ($Δ$SCF) methods and many-body perturbation theories (MBPT) are two strategies for obtaining electronic excitations from first-principles. Using the two distinct approaches, we study the O $1s$ core excitations that have become increasingly important for characterizing transition metal oxides and developing theory of strong correlations. Interestingly, we find that the $Δ$SCF approach, in its current single-particle form, systematically underestimates the pre-edge intensity for chosen oxides, despite its success in weakly correlated systems. By contrast, the Bethe-Salpeter equation within MBPT predicts much better lineshapes. This inspires us to reexamine the many-electron dynamics of X-ray excitations. We find that the single-particle $Δ$SCF approach can be rectified by explicitly calculating many-body transition amplitudes, producing X-ray spectra in excellent agreement with experiments. Our study paves the way to accurately predict X-ray near-edge spectral fingerprints for physics and materials science beyond the Bethe-Salpether equation.
