Plasmonic properties and correlation energies from a compact multipole representation of the dielectric response in 2D metals

Dario A. Leon, Claudia Cardoso, Kristian Berland

Multipole-Padé approximants provide a compact representation of dynamical response functions in terms of a small number of collective modes. Here, we generalize this framework to…

Bulk plasmons in elemental metals

Dario A. Leon, Claudia Cardoso, Kristian Berland

The spectral properties, momentum dispersion, and broadening of bulk plasmonic excitations of 26 elemental metals are studied from first principles calculations in the random-phase…

Momentum- and frequency-resolved collective electronic excitations in solids: insights from spectroscopy and first-principles calculations

Dario A. Leon, Kristian Berland

Collective electronic excitations, including plasmons, excitons, and intra- and interband transitions, play a central role in determining the dynamic screening, optical response, a…

Self-consistent layer-projected scissors operator for band structures of complex 2D van der Waals materials

Dario A. Leon, Mikael Kuisma, Mikkel Ohm Sauer +6

We introduce a computationally efficient method to calculate the quasiparticle (QP) band structure of general van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. A layer-projected scissors (LAPS…

Spectral properties from an efficient analytical representation of the self-energy within a multipole approximation

Dario A. Leon, Kristian Berland, Claudia Cardoso

We propose an efficient analytical representation of the frequency-dependent self-energy via a multipole approximation (MPA-). The multipole-Padé model for the self-…
