DMFT+Sigma approach: methodology and application
Speaker:Igor Nekrasov (Ekaterinburg)
Abstract:his review is devoted to generalization of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) for strongly correlated electronic systems towards the account of different types of additional interactions, necessary for correct physical description of many experimentally observed phenomena in such systems. As additional interactions we consider: (1) interaction of electrons with antiferromagnetic (or charge) fluctuations of order parameter in high-Tc superconductors leading to the formation of pseudogap state, (2) scattering of electrons on static disorder and its role in general picture of Anderson-Hubbard metal-insulator transition, (3) electron-phonon interaction and corresponding anomalies of electronic spectra in strongly correlated systems. Proposed DMFT+\Sigma approach is based on taking into account above mentioned interactions by introducing additional self-energy \Sigma (in general momentum dependent) into conventional DMFT scheme and calculated in a self-consistent way within the standard set of DMFT equations Here we formulate general scheme of calculation of both one-particle (spectral functions and densities of states) and two-particle (optical conductivity) properties. We examine the problem of pseudogap formation, including the Fermi arc formation and partial destruction of the Fermi surface, metal-insulator transition in disordered Anderson-Hubbard model, and general picture of kink formation within electronic spectra in strongly correlated systems. DMFT+S approach is generalized to describe realistic materials with strong electron-electron correlations based on LDA+DMFT method. General scheme of LDA+DMFT method is presented together with some of its applications to real systems. The LDA+DMFT+S approach is employed to modelling of pseudogap state of electron and hole doped high-Tc cuprates. Comparison with variety of ARPES experiments is given.
