Thermodynamic Consistency of the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory of the Double-Exchange Model


Abstract in English

Although diagrammatic perturbation theory fails for the dynamical-mean field theory of the double-exchange model, the theory is nevertheless Phi-derivable and hence thermodynamically consistent, meaning that the same thermodynamic properties are obtained from either the partition function or the Greens function. We verify this consistency by evaluating the magnetic susceptibility and Curie temperature for any Hunds coupling.
