摘要
We present a charge self-consistent scheme combining density functional and dynamical mean field theory, which uses Green's functions of multiple-scattering type. In this implementation, the many-body effects are incorporated into the Kohn-Sham iterative scheme without the need for the numerically ill-posed analytic continuation of the Green's function and of the self-energy, which was previously a bottleneck in multiple-scattering-type Green's function approaches. This is achieved by producing the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian in the subspace of correlated partial waves and allows to formulate the Green's function directly on theMatsubara axis. The spectral moments of the Matsubara Green's function enable us to put together the real-space charge density, therefore, the charge self-consistency can be achieved. Our results for the spectral functions (density of states) and equation-of-state curves for transition-metal elements Fe, Ni, and FeAl compound agree very well with those of Hamiltonian-based LDA+DMFT implementations. The current implementation improves on numerical accuracy, compared to previous implementations where analytic continuation was required at each Kohn-Sham self-consistent step. A minimal effort aside from the multiple-scattering formulation is required, and the method can be generalized in several ways that are interesting for applications to real materials.
