Unified Green's function approach for spectral and thermodynamic properties from algorithmic inversion of dynamical potentials

Dynamical potentials appear in many advanced electronic-structure methods, including self-energies from many-body perturbation theory, dynamical mean-field theory, electronic-transport formulations, and many embedding approaches. Here, we propose a novel t ...

Microscopic field theory for structure formation in systems of self-propelled particles with generic torques

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We derive a dynamical field theory for self-propelled particles subjected to generic torques and forces by explicitly coarse-graining their microscopic dynamics, described by a many-body Fokker-Planck equation. The model includes both intrinsic torques ind ...

Influence of static correlation on the magnon dynamics of an itinerant ferromagnet with competing exchange interactions: First-principles study of MnBi

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow

We present first-principles calculations of the dynamic susceptibility in strained and doped ferromagnetic MnBi using time-dependent density functional theory. In spite of being a metal, MnBi exhibits signatures of strong correlation and a proper descripti ...

Bloch's theorem in orbital-density-dependent functionals: Band structures from Koopmans spectral functionals

Nicola Marzari, Nicola Colonna, Edward Baxter Linscott, Riccardo De Gennaro

Koopmans-compliant functionals provide an orbital-density-dependent framework for an accurate evaluation of spectral properties; they are obtained by imposing a generalized piecewise-linearity condition on the total energy of the system with respect to the ...

Superconducting quantum interference at the atomic scale

Klaus Kern, Haonan Huang

A single spin in a Josephson junction can reverse the flow of the supercurrent by changing the sign of the superconducting phase difference across it. At mesoscopic length scales, these pi-junctions are employed in various applications, such as finding the ...

Weakness of Correlation Effect Manifestation in BaNi2As2: An ARPES and LDA plus DMFT Study

Daniil Yevtushynsky

The electronic spectral function of BaNi2As2 is investigated using both angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and a combined computational scheme of local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory (LDA + DMFT). In contrast to the we ...

Self-consistent Hubbard parameters from density-functional perturbation theory in the ultrasoft and projector-augmented wave formulations

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Matteo Cococcioni

The self-consistent evaluation of Hubbard parameters using linear-response theory is crucial for quantitatively predictive calculations based on Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory. Here, we extend a recently introduced approach based on density-fu ...

Tunneling processes through magnetic impurities on superconducting surfaces: Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states and the Josephson effect

Haonan Huang

Magnetic impurities generate a wealth of phenomena on surfaces. On metals, conducting electrons screen the magnetic moment giving rise to the Kondo effect. On superconductors, the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states emerge inside the superconducting gap due to t ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...

Visualizing the multifractal wave functions of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas

Klaus Kern

The wave functions of a disordered two-dimensional electron gas at the quantum-critical Anderson transition are predicted to exhibit multifractal scaling in their real space amplitude. We experimentally investigate the appearance of these characteristics i ...

Two-fold symmetric superconductivity in few-layer NbSe2

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

The strong Ising spin-orbit coupling in certain two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides can profoundly affect the superconducting state in few-layer samples. For example, in NbSe2, this effect combines with the reduced dimensionality to stabilize ...

Pulay forces in density-functional theory with extended Hubbard functionals: From nonorthogonalized to orthogonalized manifolds

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Matteo Cococcioni, Luca Binci, Francesco Aquilante

We present a derivation of the exact expression for Pulay forces in density-functional theory calculations augmented with extended Hubbard functionals and arising from the use of orthogonalized atomic orbitals as projectors for the Hubbard manifold. The de ...
