3. Standard theory of solids Band Theory: electrons as waves: Rigid band picture: En(k) versus k Landau Fermi Liquid Theory applicable Very powerful quantitative tools: LDA,LSDA,GW Predictions: total energies, stability of crystal phases optical transitions M. Van Schilfgarde

4. Fermi Liquid Theory does NOT work. Need new concepts to replace rigid bands picture! Breakdown of the wave picture. Need to incorporate a real space perspective – local moment formation (Mott). Non perturbative problem. Strong correlation – Standard theory fails

5. Bright future! New concepts, new techniques….. DMFT maybe the simplest approach to describe the physics of strong correlations -> the spectral weight transfer 1B HB model (DMFT): DMFT can describe Mott transition:

6. DMFT + electronic structure method (G. Kotliar S. Savrasov K.H., V. Oudovenko O. Parcollet and C. Marianetti, RMP 2006). Basic idea of DMFT+electronic structure method (LDA or GW): For less correlated bands (s,p): use LDA or GW For correlated bands (f or d): add all local diagrams by solving QIM 

7. DMFT is not a single impurity calculation Auxiliary impurity problem: High-temperature  given mostly by LDA low T: Impurity hybridization affected by the emerging coherence of the lattice (collective phenomena) Weiss field temperature dependent: Feedback effect on  makes the crossover from incoherent to coherent state very slow! high T low T DMFT SCC:

8. General impurity problem Diagrammatic expansion in terms of hybridization  +Metropolis sampling over the diagrams Exact method: samples all diagrams! Allows correct treatment of multiplets K.H. Phys. Rev. B 75, 155113 (2007) An exact impurity solver, continuous time QMC - expansion in terms of hybridization More on Friday in session 8am (Chris Marianetti)

10. Crossover scale ~50K in-plane out of plane Low temperature – Itinerant heavy bands High temperature Ce-4f local moments ALM in DMFT Schweitzer& Czycholl,1991 Coherence crossover in experiment

11. How does the crossover from localized moments to itinerant q.p. happen? How does the spectral weight redistribute? How does the hybridization gap look like in momentum space? ? k  A(  ) Where in momentum space q.p. appear? What is the momentum dispersion of q.p.? Issues for the system specific study

12. (e Temperature dependence of the local Ce-4f spectra At low T, very narrow q.p. peak (width ~3meV) SO coupling splits q.p.: +-0.28eV Redistribution of weight up to very high frequency SO At 300K, only Hubbard bands J. H. Shim, KH, and G. Kotliar Science 318, 1618 (2007).

13. Very slow crossover! T*T* Slow crossover pointed out by NPF 2004 Buildup of coherence in single impurity case TKTK coherent spectral weight T scattering rate coherence peak Buildup of coherence Crossover around 50K

14. Consistency with the phenomenological approach of NPF Remarkable agreement with Y. Yang & D. Pines cond-mat/0711.0789! Anomalous Hall coefficient Fraction of itinerant heavy fluid m* of the heavy fluid

15. ARPES Fujimori, 2006 Angle integrated photoemission vs DMFT Experimental resolution ~30meV, theory predicts 3meV broad band Surface sensitive at 122eV

16. Angle integrated photoemission vs DMFT ARPES Fujimori, 2006 Nice agreement for the Hubbard band position SO split qp peak Hard to see narrow resonance in ARPES since very little weight of q.p. is below Ef Lower Hubbard band

17. T=10K T=300K scattering rate~100meVFingerprint of spd’s due to hybridization Not much weight q.p. bandSO Momentum resolved Ce-4f spectra Af(,k)Af(,k) Hybridization gap

18. DMFT qp bandsLDA bands DMFT qp bands Quasiparticle bands three bands, Z j=5/2 ~1/200

19. Momentum resolved total spectra A( ,k) Fujimori, 2003 LDA+DMFT at 10K ARPES, HE I, 15K LDA f-bands [-0.5eV, 0.8eV] almost disappear, only In-p bands remain Most of weight transferred into the UHB Very heavy qp at Ef, hard to see in total spectra Below -0.5eV: almost rigid downshift Unlike in LDA+U, no new band at -2.5eV Large lifetime of HBs -> similar to LDA(f-core) rather than LDA or LDA+U

20. Optical conductivity Typical heavy fermion at low T: Narrow Drude peak (narrow q.p. band) Hybridization gap k  Interband transitions across hybridization gap -> mid IR peak CeCoIn 5 no visible Drude peak no sharp hybridization gap F.P.

29. DMFT can describe crossover from local moment regime to heavy fermion state in heavy fermions. The crossover is very slow. Width of heavy quasiparticle bands is predicted to be only ~3meV. We predict a set of three heavy bands with their dispersion. Mid-IR peak of the optical conductivity in 115’s is split due to pr esence of two type’s of hybridization Ce moment is more coupled to out-of-plane In then in-plane In which explains the sensitivity of 115’s to substitution of transition metal ion Fermi surface in CeIrIn5 is gradually increasing with decre asing temperature but it is not saturated even at 5K. Conclusions

39. Fermi surface changes under pressure in CeRhIn 5  Fermi surface reconstruction at 2.34GPa  Sudden jump of dHva frequencies  Fermi surface is very similar on both sides, slight increase of electron FS frequencies  Reconstruction happens at the point of maximal Tc Shishido, (2005) localized itinerant We can not yet address FS change with pressure  We can study FS change with Temperature - At high T, Ce-4f electrons are excluded from the FS At low T, they are included in the FS

43. Basic questions to address How to computed spectroscopic quantities (single particle s pectra, optical conductivity phonon dispersion…) from first principles? How to relate various experiments into a unifying picture. New concepts, new techniques….. DMFT maybe simplest ap proach to meet this challenge 1B HB model (DMFT): DMFT can describe Mott transition:
