UO2作为莫特绝缘体的电子结构性质

Electronic Structure Properties of UO2 as a Mott Insulator

Samira Sheykhi, Mahmoud Payami

摘要:

本文利用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了具有反铁磁1 k-、2k-和3 k-级结构的二氧化铀的结构、电子和磁性。在密度泛函理论中,通常的近似方法,如局域密度近似(LDA)或广义梯度近似(GGA),对于这种强关联电子系统,通常预测不正确的金属行为。采用Hubbard项修正f电子,LDA+U方法,以及采用屏蔽的Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof(HSE)混合泛函进行交换关联(XC),我们得到了正确的绝缘体基态行为,带隙与实验符合良好.

英文摘要:

In this work using the density functional theory (DFT), we have studied the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of uranium dioxide with antiferromagnetic 1k-, 2k-, and 3k-order structures. Ordinary approximations in DFT, such as the local density approximation (LDA) or generalized gradient approximation (GGA), usually predict incorrect metallic behaviors for this strongly correlated electron system. Using Hubbard term correction for f-electrons, LDA+U method, as well as using the screened Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional for the exchange-correlation (XC), we have obtained the correct ground-state behavior as an insulator, with band gaps in good agreement with experiment.
