Enhanced Pauli spin response, failure of Stoner \& spin fluctuation models, and presence of 6 $eV$ plasmonic excitations in Ni metal

Shivani Bhardwaj, Antik Sihi, Sudhir K. Pandey

We revisit the electronic structure of Ni, using the density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) for the theoretical description of its electronic struct…
