Comparing +DMFT and LDA+DMFT for the testbed material SrVO

arXiv:1211.1324 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.88.165119

Abstract

We have implemented the +dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) approach in the Vienna ab initio simulation package. Employing the interaction values obtained from the locally unscreened random phase approximation (RPA), we compare +DMFT and LDA+DMFT against each other and against experiment for SrVO. We observed a partial compensation of stronger electronic correlations due to the reduced bandwidth and weaker correlations due to a larger screening of the RPA interaction, so that the obtained spectra are quite similar and well agree with experiment. Noteworthily, the +DMFT better reproduces the position of the lower Hubbard side band.
