Energy resolution and discretization artefacts in the numerical renormalization group

Abstract

We study the limits of the energy resolution that can be achieved in the calculations of spectral functions of quantum impurity models using the numerical renormalization group (NRG) technique with interleaving (z-averaging). We show that overbroadening errors can be largely eliminated, that higher-moment spectral sum rules are satisfied to a good accuracy, and that positions, heights and widths of spectral features are well reproduced; the NRG approximates very well the spectral-weight distribution. We find, however, that the discretization of the conduction-band continuum nevertheless introduces artefacts. We present a new discretization scheme which removes the band-edge discretization artefacts of the conventional approach and significantly improves the convergence to the continuum (Lambda -> 1) limit. Sample calculations of spectral functions with high energy resolution are presented. We follow in detail the emergence of the Kondo resonance in the Anderson impurity model as the electron-electron repulsion is increased, and the emergence of the phononic side peaks and the transition from the spin Kondo effect to the charge Kondo effect in the Anderson-Holstein impurity model as the electron-phonon coupling is increased. We also compute the spectral function of the Hubbard model within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), confirming the presence of fine structure in the Hubbard bands.
