Charge redistribution in correlated heterostuctures within nonequilibrium real-space dynamical mean-field theory
arXiv:1805.01020 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.98.035146
Abstract
We address the steady-state behavior of a system consisting of several correlated monoatomic layers sandwiched between two metallic leads under the influence of a bias voltage. In particular, we investigate the effect of the local Hubbard and of the long-range Coulomb interactions on the charge redistribution at the interface. We provide a detailed study of the importance of the various system parameters, like Hubbard , lead-correlated region coupling strength, and the applied voltage on the charge distribution in the correlated region and in the adjacent parts of the leads. Our results are obtained within non-equilibrium (steady-state) real-space dynamical mean-field theory (R-DMFT), with a self-consistent treatment of the long-range part of the Coulomb interaction by means of the Poisson equation. The latter is solved by the Newton-Raphson method and we find that this significantly reduces the computational cost compared to existing treatment. As impurity solver for R-DMFT we use the auxiliary master equation approach (AMEA), which addresses the impurity problem within a finite auxiliary system coupled to Markovian environments.
