Nonequilibrium itinerant-electron magnetism: A time-dependent mean-field theory

Abstract

We study the dynamical magnetic susceptibility of a strongly correlated electronic system in the presence of a time-dependent hopping field, deriving a generalized Bethe-Salpeter equation that is valid also out of equilibrium. Focusing on the single-orbital Hubbard model within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation, we solve the equation in the nonequilibrium adiabatic regime, obtaining a closed expression for the transverse magnetic susceptibility. From this, we provide a rigorous definition of nonequilibrium (time-dependent) magnon frequencies and exchange parameters, expressed in terms of nonequilibrium single-electron Green's functions and self-energies. In the particular case of equilibrium, we recover previously known results.

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory of a strongly correlated system

Petra Schmidt, H. Monien

We present a generalized dynamical mean-field approach for the nonequilibrium physics of a strongly correlated system in the presence of a time-dependent external field. The Keldysh Green's function formalism is used to study the nonequilibrium problem. We derive a closed set of self-consistency equations in the case of a driving field with frequency Omega and wave vector q. We present numerical results for the local frequency-dependent Green's function and the self-energy for different values of the field amplitude in the case of a uniform external field using the iterated perturbation theory. In addition, an expression for the frequency-dependent optical conductivity of the Hubbard model with a driving external field is derived.

Nonadiabatic exchange-correlation kernel for strongly correlated materials

Volodymyr Turkowski, Talat Shahnaz Rahman

Abstract We formulate a rigorous method for calculating a nonadiabatic (frequency-dependent) exchange-correlation (XC) kernel appropriate for accurate description of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of strongly correlated systems within the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) via the charge susceptibility, which is in turn obtained from dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) based on the effective multi-orbital Hubbard model. Application to the simple case of the one-orbital Hubbard model already shows the importance of the nonadiabatic kernel as it leads to significant modification of the excitation spectrum—shifting the (adiabatic) peak and disclosing another that is reminiscent of the solution from DMFT. The impact of dynamical effects, naturally included through the nonadiabaticity of the XC kernel, becomes even more transparent in our consideration of the nonequilibrium charge-density response of a multi-orbital perovskite, YTiO 3 , to a perturbation by a femtosecond (fs) laser pulse. These initial results indicate that electron–electron correlations and nonadiabatic features may significantly affect the spectrum and nonequilibrium properties of strongly correlated systems. We also propose an algorithm for extension of the approach to non-linear response. The transparency and computational efficiency of this non-adiabatic TDDFT+DMFT approach opens the door to examination of the spectra and response of multi-orbital systems with many nonequivalent atoms—bulk material, films and nanostructures.

Nonequilibrium self-energy functional approach to the dynamical Mott transition

Felix Hofmann, Martin Eckstein, Michael Potthoff

The real-time dynamics of the Fermi-Hubbard model, driven out of equilibrium by quenching or ramping the interaction parameter, is studied within the framework of the nonequilibrium self-energy functional theory. A dynamical impurity approximation with a single auxiliary bath site is considered as a reference system, and the time-dependent hybridization is optimized as prescribed by the variational principle. The dynamical two-site approximation turns out to be useful to study the real-time dynamics on short and intermediate time scales. Depending on the strength of the interaction in the final state, two qualitatively different response regimes are observed. For both weak and strong couplings, qualitative agreement with previous results of nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory is found. The two regimes are sharply separated by a critical point at which the low-energy bath degree of freedom decouples in the course of time. We trace the dependence of the critical interaction of the dynamical Mott transition on the duration of the interaction ramp from sudden quenches to adiabatic dynamics and therewith link the dynamical to the equilibrium Mott transition.

Nonequilibrium Dynamics of the Hubbard Dimer

Y. Pavlyukh

Electron dynamics in a two-sites Hubbard model is studied using the nonequilibrium Green's function approach. The study is motivated by the empirical observation that a full solution of the integro-differential Kadanoff-Baym equation (KBE) is more stable and often accompanied by artificial damping [Marc Puig von Friesen, C. Verdozzi, and C.-O. Almbladh (2009)] than its time-linear reformulations relying on the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz (GKBA). Additionally, for conserving theories, numerical simulations suggest that KBE produces natural occupations bounded by one and zero in agreement with the Pauli exclusion principle, whereas, in some regimes, GKBA-based theories violate this principle. As the first step for understanding these issues, the electron dynamics arising in the adiabatic switching scenario is studied. Many-body approximations are classified according to the channel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in which electronic correlations are explicitly treated. They give rise to the so-called second Born, $T$-matrix and $GW$ approximations. In each of these cases, the model is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, which resemble equations of motion for a driven harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequencies. A more complete treatment of electronic correlations is achieved by combining different correlation channels, with parquet theory serving as a starting point.

The derivation of the analytic expressions of the dynamical susceptibility based on the Hubbard-Hirsch Hamiltonian

B E Iyorsor, Robinson O. Okanigbuan, Joa Idiodi

Investigation have been carried out on the spin wave energy of a ferromagnet using the random-phase approximation (RPA) in the Stoner model. Based on the Hubbard-Hirsch Hamiltonian, in this paper we study the spin excitation in an itinerant-electron system with the Hartree-Fock Approximation (HFA) to derive the analytic expressions of the dynamical susceptibility of the spin system, by setting up the equation of motion and solving it in a generalized HFA of the susceptibility tensor, Χ-+, and quoting the result for the first derivative of the Green's function.

Static and dynamic variational principles for strongly correlated electron systems

Michael Potthoff, Adolfo Avella, Ferdinando Mancini

The equilibrium state of a system consisting of a large number of strongly interacting electrons can be characterized by its density operator. This gives a direct access to the ground-state energy or, at finite temperatures, to the free energy of the system as well as to other static physical quantities. Elementary excitations of the system, on the other hand, are described within the language of Green's functions, i.e. time- or frequency-dependent dynamic quantities which give a direct access to the linear response of the system subjected to a weak time-dependent external perturbation. A typical example is angle-revolved photoemission spectroscopy which is linked to the single-electron Green's function. Since usually both, the static as well as the dynamic physical quantities, cannot be obtained exactly for lattice fermion models like the Hubbard model, one has to resort to approximations. Opposed to more ad hoc treatments, variational principles promise to provide consistent and controlled approximations. Here, the Ritz principle and a generalized version of the Ritz principle at finite temperatures for the static case on the one hand and a dynamical variational principle for the single-electron Green's function or the self-energy on the other hand are introduced, discussed in detail and compared to each other to show up conceptual similarities and differences. In particular, the construction recipe for non-perturbative dynamic approximations is taken over from the construction of static mean-field theory based on the generalized Ritz principle. Within the two different frameworks, it is shown which types of approximations are accessible, and their respective weaknesses and strengths are worked out. Static Hartree-Fock theory as well as dynamical mean-field theory are found as the prototypical approximations.
