Outline Some introductory comments about Dynamical Mean Field Theory. The Mott transition across the actinide series, Plutonium and Americium. DMFT results for Pu. [Other approaches disorder local moment, mixed level model, LDA+ U …..] DMFT results for Am under pressure. Conclusions.

Rozenberg RMP68, 13, 1996 Gabriel Kotliar and Dieter Vollhardt Physics Today 57,(2004) Extremize a functional of the local spectra or the local self energy.

How good is the local approximation ??? Exact in infinite dimensions as defined by Metzner and Vollhardt (1989). Cellular DMFT [Kotliar et. al. PRL (2001) ] Test in 1d Hubbard model Capone Civelli Sarma Castellani and Kotliar PRB 69, (2004) ]

Two paths for ab-initio calculation of electronic structure of strongly correlated materials Correlation Functions Total Energies etc. Model Hamiltonian Crystal structure +Atomic positions DMFT ideas can be used in both cases.

Towards Ab-Initio DMFT.  Incorporate band structure and orbital degeneracy to achieve a realistic description of materials. LDA+DMFT V. Anisimov, A. Poteryaev, M. Korotin, A. Anokhin and G. Kotliar, J. Phys. Cond. Mat. 35, 7359 (1997). Similar in spirit LDA ++ Lichtentsein and Katsnelson. PRB 57,6884 (1998). Derive complex Hamiltonians solve them using DMFT.  LDA+DMFT photoemission Allows the computation of realistic photoemission spectra. More recently, Extension to optical conductivity eg[ Haule Savrasov Udovenko and KotliarPhys. Rev. Lett. 94, (2005). ]Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, (2005). Functional formulation (Chitra and Kotliar 2000) Phys. Rev. B 62, (2000).. Full implementation S. Savrasov G. Kotliar ( ). Phys. Rev. B 69, (2004). Frequency dependent generalization of the Kohn Sham potential, whose role is to give the exact “local” Greens function. Frequency dependent Kohn-Sham like equations can be derived by extremizing a functional which gives the total energy.Phys. Rev. B 62, (2000).Phys. Rev. B 69, (2004). Theory computes total Energy, linear response phonons. [ Savrasov and Kotliar Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, (2003). ] Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, (2003).

Why is Epsilon Pu (which is smaller than delta Pu) stabilized at higher temperatures ??Compute phonons in bcc structure.

Phonon entropy drives the epsilon delta phase transition Epsilon is slightly more delocalized than delta, has SMALLER volume and lies at HIGHER energy than delta at T=0. But it has a much larger phonon entropy than delta. At the phase transition the volume shrinks but the phonon entropy increases. Estimates of the phase transition following Drumont and G. Ackland et. al. PRB.65, (2002); (and neglecting electronic entropy). TC ~ 600 K.

Double well structure and  Pu Qualitative explanation of negative thermal expansion[ Lawson, A. C., Roberts J. A., Martinez, B., and Richardson, J. W., Jr. Phil. Mag. B, 82, 1837,(2002). G. Kotliar J.Low Temp. Phys vol.126, (2002)] Natural consequence of the conclusions on the model Hamiltonian level. We had two solutions at the same U, one metallic and one insulating. Relaxing the volume expands the insulator and contract the metal. F(T,V)=Fphonons +Finvar

Conclusions Mott transition in Americium and Plutonium. In both cases theory (DMFT) and experiment suggest gradual more subtle evolution than in earlier treatments. DMFT: Physical connection between spectra and structure. Studied the Mott transition open and closed shell cases.. DMFT: method under construction, but it already gives quantitative results and qualitative insights. Interactions between theory and experiments. Pu: simple picture of the phases. alpha delta and epsilon. Interplay of lattice and electronic structure near the Mott transition. Am: Rich physics, mixed valence under pressure. Superconductivity near the Mott transition.
