Kotliar and G. Palsson PRLPRL 80, (1998), 4775] • 3] 4f’s 115’s and the tale of multiple hybridization gaps.[K. Haule J. Shim G. Kotliar, Science Nov 1st 2007] • 4] Conclusions

  3. Correlated Electron Systems Pose Basic Questions in CMT • FROM ATOMS TO SOLIDS • How to describe electron from localized to itinerant ? • How do the physical properties evolve ?

  4. DMFT Spectral Function Photoemission and correlations e • Probability of removing an electron and transfering energy w=Ei-Ef, and momentum k f(w) A(w, K) M2 n n Angle integrated spectral function 8

  5. Georges Kotliar (1992)DMFT approximate quantum solid as atom in a medium 10

  6. Spectra=- Im G(k,w) Self consistency for V and e (GW) DFT+DMFT: determine H[k] and density and S self consitently from a functional and obtain total energies. 12

  7. Electronic structure problem: compute <r|G|r’> and <r|W|r’> given structure Chitra and Kotliar PRB 62, 12715 (2000) PRB (2001)P.Sun and GK (2005) Zein et.al.PRL 96, 226403 (2006)). See also Bierman Aryasetiwan and Georges. Introduce Notion of Local Greens functions, Wloc, Gloc G=Gloc+Gnonloc . Ir,>=|R, r,> Gloc=G(R r, R’ r’) dR,R’

  8. “ Local” can mean a small cluster of sites or multiple unit cells. Cellular DMFT cluster DMFT. DMFT mapping site or cluster of sites in a self consistent medium. Quantum impurity model, gives S and P.Need accurate impurity solvers.. Approximate the self energy of a subset “ uncorrelated electrons “ by dft Vxc(r)d(r,r’) replace W(w) by a static U acting only on the “correlated “ set, which we treat by DMFT. LDA+DMFT . V.
