Effective crystal field and Fermi surface topology: a comparison of d- and dp-orbital models

Abstract

The effective crystal field in multi-orbital correlated materials can be either enhanced or reduced by electronic correlations with crucial consequences for the topology of the Fermi surface and, hence, on the physical properties of these systems. In this respect, recent local density approximation (LDA) plus dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) studies of Ni-based heterostructure have shown contradicting results, depending on whether the less correlated $p$-orbitals are included or not. We investigate the origin of this problem and identify the key parameters controlling the Fermi surface properties of these systems. Without the $p$-orbitals the model is quarter filled, while the $d$ manifold moves rapidly towards half-filling when the $p$-orbitals are included. This implies that the local Hund's exchange, while rather unimportant for the former case, can play a predominant role in controlling the orbital polarization for the extended basis-set by favoring the formation of a larger local magnetic moment.
