IJS Mott transition (B. Johansson, 1974): Kondo volume colapse (J.W. Allen, R.M. Martin, 1982): Classical theories Hubbard model Anderson (impurity) model changes and causes Mott tr. changes → chnange of T K bath either constant or taken from LDA and rescaled

IJS LDA+DMFT ab initio calculation is self-consistently determined contains t ff and V fd hopping bath for AIM Kondo volume colapse model resembles DMFT picture: Solution of the Anderson impurity model → Kondo physics Difference: with DMFT the lattice problem is solved (and therefore Difference: with DMFT the lattice problem is solved (and therefore Δ must self- consistently determined) while in KVC Δ is calculated for a fictious impurity (and needs to be rescaled to fit exp.)

IJS Optical conductivity orbitally resolved "fat" optics for alpha phase LDA compared to LDA+DMFT ff contribution to optics <<fd<<dd ff hopping very small ff hopping very small, Kondo resonance mostly due to hybridization with d Mott transition not the right explanation (even if Mott transition is understood in modern sense)

23
IJS d,s,p conducting bands are important for explaining properties of Ce Kondo peak in low T alpha phase appears due to hybridization with d bands Optics conductivity has mostly d character Optics shows hybridization pseudogap up to 1eV in alpha phase and no pseudogap in gamma phase KVC model better than MT scenario Conclusion
