Weakly correlated electrons. FLT and DFT, and what goes wrong in
correlated materials. • Fermi Liquid . . Correspondence between a
system of non interacting particles and the full Hamiltonian.
• A band structure is generated (Kohn Sham system).and in many systems this is a good starting point for perturbative computations of the spectra (GW).

• The light, SP (or SPD) electrons are extended, well described by LDA .The heavy, D (or F) electrons are localized treat by DMFT.
• LDA Kohn Sham Hamiltonian already contains an average interaction of the heavy electrons, subtract this out by shifting the heavy level (double counting term)
Kinetic energy is provided by the Kohn Sham Hamiltonian (sometimes after downfolding ). The U matrix can be estimated from first principles of viewed as parameters. Solve resulting model using DMFT.

• Mott transition survives in the cluster setting. Role of magnetic frustration.
• Surprising result: formation of hot and cold regions as a result of an approach to the Mott transition. General result ?
• Unexpected role of the next nearest neighbor self energy.

• Approach the Mott transition, if the localized configuration has an OPEN shell the mass increases as the transition is approached.
Consistent theory, entropy increases monotonically as U Uc .
• Approach the Mott transition, if the localized configuration has a CLOSED shell. We have an apparent paradox. To approach the Mott transitions the bands have to narrow, but the insulator has not entropy.. SOLUTION: superconductivity intervenes.
![Page 44: Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) Approach to Correlated Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681457c550346895db24fc0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Mott transition in systems with close shell.
• Resolution: as the Mott transition is approached from the metallic side, eventually superconductivity intervenes to for a continuous transition to the localized side.

• IVariation of rho vs. T for increasing p.

Conclusion Am
• Crude LDA+DMFT calculations describe the crude energetics of the material, eq. volume, even p vs V .
• Superconductivity near the Mott transition.Tc increases first and the decreases as we approach the
Mott boundary. Dramatic effect in the f bulk module. What is going on at the Am I- Am II boundary ???
Subtle effect (bulk moduli do not change much ), but crucial modifications at low energy.
Mott transition of the f7/2 band ? Quantum critical point ?:

Conclusion: Cerium
• Qualitatively good agreement with existing experiment.
• Some quantitative disagreement, see however .
• Experiments should study the temperature dependence of the optics.
• Optics + Theory can provide a simple resolution of the Mott vs K-Collapse conundrum.

Conclusion Ti2O3
• 2 site cluster DMFT describes the MIT in Ti2O3.
• Different from V2O3 where single site DMFT works well, and cluster corrections are small [A. Poteryaev]
• It requires the Coulomb interactions, and a frequency dependent enhancement of the a1g-a1g hopping, induced by the Coulomb interactions. [Haldane Ph.D thesis, Q Si and GK 1993 ].Dynamical Pauling-Goodenough mechanism is able to trigger the MIT at low enough temperatures.
• Coulomb and Pauling synergistically cooperate.

Qualitative Ideas.
• B. Johansson, Philos. Mag. 30, 469 (1974). Mott transition of the f electrons as a function of pressure. Ce alpha gamma transition. spd electrons are spectators.
• Mathematical implementation, “metallic phase” treat spdf electrons by LDA, “insulating phase” put f electron in the core.
J.W. Allen and R.M. Martin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1106 (1982); Kondo volume collapse picture. The dominant effect is the spd-f hybridization.

Qualitative Ideas
• alpha phase Kondo effect between spd and f takes place. “insulating phase” no Kondo effect (low Kondo temperature).
• Mathematical implementation, Anderson impurity model in the suplemented with elastic terms. (precursor of realistic DMFT ideas, but without self consistency condition). J.W. Allen and L.Z. Liu, Phys. Rev. B 46, 5047 (1992).

To resolve the conflict between the Mott transition and the volume
collapse picture : Turn to Optics! Haule et.al.• Qualitative idea. The spd electrons have
much larger velocities, so optics will be much more senstive to their behavior.
• See if they are simple spectators (Mott transition picture ) or wether a Kondo binding unbinding takes pace (Kondo collapse picture).
• General method, bulk probe.
