Abstract [en]

We  present  a  method  for  calculating  the  electronic  structure  of  correlated  materials  based  on  a  truly first-principles local-density approximation (LDA)+U  scheme. Recently we suggested how to calculate U from first principles, using a method which we named constrained random-phase approximation. The input is simply  the  Kohn-Sham  eigenfunctions  and  eigenvalues  obtained  within  the  LDA.  In  our  proposed  self-consistent LDA+U scheme, we calculate the LDA+U eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and use these to extract U. The updated U is then used in the next iteration to obtain a new set of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and the iteration is continued until convergence is achieved. The most significant result is that our numerical approach is indeed stable: it is possible to find the effective exchange and correlation interaction matrix in a self-consistent way, resulting in a significant improvement over the LDA results, regarding both the bandgap in NiO and the f-band exchange spin splitting in Gd but some discrepancies still remain.
