Local Self-Energy Approach For Electronic Structure Calculations

Using a novel self-consistent implementation of Hedin's GW perturbation theory we calculate space and energy dependent self-energy for a number of materials. We find it to be local in real space and rapidly convergent on second-- to third-- nearest neighbors. Corrections beyond GW are evaluated and shown to be completely localized within a single unit cell. This can be viewed as a fully self consistent implementation of the dynamical mean field theory for electronic structure calculations of real solids using a perturbative impurity solver.

Self-consistent local GW method: Application to 3d and 4d metals

Using the recently developed version of the GW method employing the one-site approximation and self-consistent quasiparticle basis set we calculated the electronic structure of 3d and 4d transition metals at experimental atomic volumes. The results are compared with traditional local density approach and with experimental XPS and BIS spectra. Our results indicate that this technique can be used as a practical starting point for more sophisticated many-body studies of realistic electronic structures.

Self-consistent Green function approach for calculations of electronic structure in transition metals

We present an approach for self-consistent calculations of the many-body Green function in transition metals. The distinguishing feature of our approach is the use of the one-site approximation and the self-consistent quasiparticle wave function basis set, obtained from the solution of the Schrodinger equation with a nonlocal potential. We analyze several sets of skeleton diagrams as generating functionals for the Green function self-energy, including GW and fluctuating exchange sets. Their relative contribution to the electronic structure in 3d-metals was identified. Calculations for Fe and Ni revealed stronger energy dependence of the effective interaction and self-energy of the d-electrons near the Fermi level compared to s and p electron states. Reasonable agreement with experimental results is obtained.
