Self-interaction correction via the momentum distribution

David M. Edwards, Simon M. Manning, J. Rettke-grover

Published May 1, 1994• 4 citations

Abstract

The self-interaction correction (SIC) to local-spin-density functional theory is important in antiferromagnetic insulators such as transition metal oxides. To understand better the role of SIC in such systems, Svane and Gunnarsson introduced a discrete local-density functional for the Hubbard model. It is shown that their results, and further results, are obtained rather simply by expressing the energy as a functional of the momentum distribution. New results are given for the energy of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. The method is extended to calculate the transverse wave-vector-dependent susceptibility in a simple case.

Self-Interaction-Corrected Local-Spin-Density-Functional Theory for Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Tsuyoshi Miyazaki, Yasushi Ishii, Kiyoyuki Terakura

Svane and Gunnarsson's method of the self-interaction corrected local-spin-density approximation (SIC-LSDA) in the density-functional theory was applied to the one-dimensional Hubbard model and the two-dimensional pd Hubbard model in order to study the one particle energy spectrum. The calculated energy band in the SIC-LSDA gives a reasonable band gap in contrast to serious underestimation of it by the LSDA and slight overstimation by the Hartree-Fock approximation. Behavior of SIC localized orbitals is also discussed

A momentum distribution functional approach to the Hubbard model at half-filling

Simon M. Manning, David M. Edwards

The authors investigate the half-filled Hubbard model in one and two dimensions using approximations to the energy expressed as functionals of the momentum distribution. The functionals are calculated using the Hartree-Fock approximation and density functional theory in the local-spin-density and self-interaction-corrected (SIC) local-spin-density approximations (LSDA) by expressing the ground-state spin densities as a variational ansatz in which the momentum distribution enters as a variational quantity. The autthors calculate the momentum distribution, energy and local moment, as well as their ansatz orbitals, in all three approximations and find that the SIC always improves upon the LSDA.

Application of self-interaction-corrected density-functional formalism to the extended Hubbard model

Yuannan Xie, Rushan Han, Xinwei Zhang

The density-functional theory for the half-filled extended Hubbard model in one and two dimensions has been studied within the self-interaction-corrected (SIC) local-spin-density (LSD) approximation. The SIC to the total energy is expressed in terms of the Wannier functions which have the most optimal degree of localization. The system at ground state can have spin-density wave (SDW) or charge-density wave (CDW) ordering depending on the relative strength of the on-site repulsion and the nearest-neighbor repulsion. Like the Hartree-Fock approximation, the SIC-LSD scheme predicts a first-order transition between CDW and SDW. However, in the SDW, the nearest-neighbor repulsion V near the transition point tends to increase the band gap for small U and decrease the band gap for large U, with a crossover around $U\ensuremath{\approx}4$ in one dimension, which corresponds to the tricritical point predicted by other theories. The ground-state energies are better described in SIC-LSD than in the Hartree-Fock approximation.

Localization in the self-interaction-corrected density-functional formalism

A. Svane, O. Gunnarsson

We show that the self-interaction-corrected (SIC) local spin-density (LSD) approximation can describe localization in a system where the Coulomb interaction is large compared with the band-width. In contrast with the normal LSD approximation, the SIC approximation can be used for a band with orbital degeneracy, even if the band is not half filled. The method is applied to the one-dimensional Hubbard model for which there is an exact solution. The total energy, the band gap, the local moment, and the momentum distribution are substantially better described than in the LSD approximation. For some of these properties the SIC approach is shown to compare favorably with the Gutzwiller ansatz.

Self-interaction-corrected density-functional formalism. I. Ground-state properties of the Hubbard-Peierls model

Jacek A. Majewski, P. Vogl

We present detailed studies of the self-interaction-corrected local-spin-density method. As an application, we consider ground-state properties of a highly correlated many-electron system interacting with phonons, namely, the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard-Peierls model. An efficient minimization method is presented which allows one to find fully self-consistent solutions to the self-interaction-corrected local-spin-density total-energy functional without assuming any symmetry of the one-electron states. Charge- and spin-correlation functions, the energy gap, and phonon-induced electronic energy gains for the two-dimensional Hubbard-Peierls model are in significantly better agreement with numerically exact results than the standard local-density method. Noticeably, we find that phonons tend to de- stabilize the antiferromagnetic ground state in two dimensions and show a negative-U behavior in the energy gap, in contrast to the situation in one dimension. This is relevant for the theory of high-temperature superconductivity.
