Standard Model of Solids Qualitative predictions: low temperature dependence of

thermodynamics and transport.

Optical response, transition between the bands. Qualitative predictions: filled bands give rise to

insulting behavior. Compounds with odd number of electrons are metals.

Quantitative tools: Density Functional Theory with approximations suggested by the Kohn Sham formulation, (LDA GGA) is a successful computational tool for the total energy. Good starting point for perturbative calculation of spectra,eg. GW. Kinetic equations yield transport coefficients.

Localization vs Delocalization Strong Correlation Problem

•A large number of compounds with electrons in partially filled shells, are not close to the well understood limits (localized or itinerant). Non perturbative problem.•These systems display anomalous behavior (departure from the standard model of solids).•Neither LDA or LDA+U or Hartree Fock work well.•Dynamical Mean Field Theory: Simplest approach to electronic structure, which interpolates correctly between atoms and bands. Treats QP bands and Hubbard bands.

Problems with LDA

LSDA predicts magnetic long range order which is not observed experimentally (Solovyev et.al.)

If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA overestimates the volume by 30%

Notice however that LDA predicts correctly the volume of the phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills). This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system

Page 80: Electronic Structure of  Correlated Materials : a DMFT Perspective

RUTGERS

Conventional viewpoint Alpha Pu is a simple metal, it can be

described with LDA + correction. In contrast delta Pu is strongly correlated.

Constrained LDA approach (Erickson, Wills, Balatzki, Becker). In Alpha Pu, all the 5f electrons are treated as band like, while in Delta Pu, 4 5f electrons are band-like while one 5f electron is deloclized.

Same situation in LDA + U (Savrasov andGK Bouchet et. al. [Bouchet’s talk]) .Delta Pu has U=4,Alpha Pu has U =0.

Page 81: Electronic Structure of  Correlated Materials : a DMFT Perspective

RUTGERS

Problems with the conventional viewpoint of Pu

The specific heat of delta Pu, is only twice as big as that of alpha Pu.

The susceptibility of alpha Pu is in fact larger than that of delta Pu.

The resistivity of alpha Pu is comparable to that of delta Pu.

Only the structural and elastic properties are completely different.

Dynamical Mean Field View of Pu(Savrasov Kotliar and Abrahams, Nature 2001)

Delta and Alpha Pu are both strongly correlated, the DMFT mean field free energy has a double well structure, for the same value of U. One where the f electron is a bit more localized (delta) than in the other (alpha).

Is the natural consequence of the model hamiltonian phase diagram once electronic structure is about to vary.

This result resolves one of the basic paradoxes in the physics of Pu.

Case study Fe and Ni

Archetypical itinerant ferromagnets LSDA predicts correct low T moment Band picture holds at low T But at high temperatures, they resemble

more a collection of atoms with reduced moment.

The crossover from low T to high T requires DMFT.

However not everything in low T phase is OK as far as LDA goes..

Magnetic anisotropy puzzle. LDA predicts the incorrect easy axis for Nickel .(instead of 111)

LDA Fermi surface has features which are not seen in DeHaas Van Alphen ( Lonzarich)

Use LDA+ U to tackle these refined issues, (WE cannot be resolved with DMFT, compare parameters with Lichtenstein’s )

Origin of Magnetic Anisotropy Spin orbit coupling L.S L is a variable which is sensitive to

correlations, a reminder of the atomic physics Crystal fields quench L, interactions enhance

it, T2g levels carry moment, eg levels do not

any redistribution of these no matter how small will affect L.

Conclusion

The character of the localization delocalization in simple( Hubbard) models within DMFT is now fully understood, nice qualitative insights.

This has lead to extensions to more realistic models, and a beginning of a first principles approach interpolating between atoms and band, encouraging results for simple elements

Outlook Systematic improvements, short range correlations. Take a cluster of sites, include the effect of the rest

in a G0 (renormalization of the quadratic part of the effective action). What to take for G0:

DCA (M. Jarrell et.al) , CDMFT ( Savrasov Palsson and GK )

include the effects of the electrons to renormalize the quartic part of the action (spin spin , charge charge correlations) E. DMFT (Kajueter and GK, Si et.al)

Extensions of DMFT implemented on model systems, carry over to more realistic framework. Better determination of Tcs…………

Conventional viewpoint Alpha Pu is a simple metal, it can be

described with LDA + correction. In contrast delta Pu is strongly correlated.

Constrained LDA approach (Erickson, Wills, Balatzki, Becker). In Alpha Pu, all the 5f electrons are treated as band like, while in Delta Pu, 4 5f electrons are band-like while one 5f electron is deloclized.

Same situation in LDA + U (Savrasov andGK Bouchet et. al. [Bouchet’s talk]) .Delta Pu has U=4,Alpha Pu has U =0.

Delocalization-Localization across the actinide series

o f electrons in Th Pr U Np are itinerant . From Am on they are localized. Pu is at the boundary.

o Pu has a simple cubic fcc structure,the phase which is easily stabilized over a wide region in the T,p phase diagram.

o The phase is non magnetic.o Many LDA , GGA studies ( Soderlind et. Al 1990,

Kollar et.al 1997, Boettger et.al 1998, Wills et.al. 1999) give an equilibrium volume of the an equilibrium volume of the phasephaseIs 35% lower than experimentIs 35% lower than experiment

o This is one of the largest discrepancy ever known in DFT based calculations.

Problems with LDA

LSDA predicts magnetic long range order which is not observed experimentally (Solovyev et.al.)

If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA overestimates the volume by 30%

Notice however that LDA predicts correctly the volume of the phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills). This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system

Problems with the conventional viewpoint of Pu

The specific heat of delta Pu, is only twice as big as that of alpha Pu.

The susceptibility of alpha Pu is in fact larger than that of delta Pu.

The resistivity of alpha Pu is comparable to that of delta Pu.

Only the structural and elastic properties are completely different.

Dynamical Mean Field View of Pu(Savrasov Kotliar and Abrahams, Nature 2001)

Delta and Alpha Pu are both strongly correlated, the DMFT mean field free energy has a double well structure, for the same value of U. One where the f electron is a bit more localized (delta) than in the other (alpha).

Is the natural consequence of the model hamiltonian phase diagram once electronic structure is about to vary.

This result resolves one of the basic paradoxes in the physics of Pu.

Comments on LDA+DMFT• Static limit of the LDA+DMFT functional , with = HF

reduces to LDA+U• Removes inconsistencies and shortcomings of this

approach. DMFT retain correlations effects in the absence of orbital ordering.

• Only in the orbitally ordered Hartree Fock limit, the Greens function of the heavy electrons is fully coherent

• Gives the local spectra and the total energy simultaneously, treating QP and H bands on the same footing.

theory in the interaction (well defined diagrammatic rules )The functional can also be constructed expanding around the the atomic limit. No explicit expression exists.

DFT is useful because good approximations to the exact density functional DFT(r)] exist, e.g. LDA, GGA
