Forces for Structural Optimizations in Correlated Materials within DFT+Embedded DMFT Functional Approach

Abstract

We implemented the derivative of the free energy functional with respect to the atom displacements, so called force, within the combination of Density Functional Theory and the Embedded Dynamical Mean Field Theory. We show that in combination with the numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo (MC) impurity solver, the MC noise cancels to a great extend, so that the method can be used very efficiently for structural optimization of correlated electron materials. As an application of the method, we show how strengthening of the fluctuating moment in FeSe superconductor leads to a substantial increase of the anion height, and consequently to a very large effective mass, and also strong orbital differentiation.
