Noncollinear magnetic sampling method for paramagnetic Mott insulator MnO

Abstract

We present a new approach based on the static density functional theory (DFT) to describe paramagentic MnO, which is a representative paramagnetic Mott insulator. We appended the spin noncollinearity and the canonical ensemble to the magnetic sampling method (MSM), which is one of the supercell approaches based on disordered local moment model. The combination of the noncollinear MSM (NCMSM) with DFT$+U$ represents a highly favorable computational method called NCMSM$+U$ to accurately determine the paramagnetic properties of MnO with moderate numerical cost. The effects of electron correlations and spin noncollinearity on the properties of MnO were also investigated. We revealed that the spin noncollinearity plays an important role in determining the detailed electronic profile and precise energetics of paramagnetic MnO. Our results illustrate that the NCMSM$+U$ approach may be used as an alternative to the $\text{ab initio}$ framework of dynamic mean field theory based on DFT in the simulation of the high-temperature properties of Mott insulators.
