Local correlations and hole doping in NiO: a dynamical mean field study

arXiv:cond-mat/0612116 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.75.165115

Abstract

Using a combination of {\it ab initio} bandstructure methods and dynamical mean-field theory we study the single-particle spectrum of the prototypical charge-transfer insulator NiO. Good agreement with photoemission and inverse-photoemission spectra is obtained for both stoichiometric and hole-doped systems. In spite of a large Ni- spectral weight at the top of the valence band the doped holes are found to occupy mainly the ligand orbitals. Moreover, high hole doping leads to a significant reconstruction of the single-particle spectrum accompanied by a filling of the correlation gap.
