We present results for the momentum-resolved single-particle spectral function of the low-dimensional system TiOCl in the insulating state, obtained by a combination of ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Variational Cluster (VCA) calculations. This approach allows to combine a realistic band structure and a thorough treatment of the strong correlations. We show that it is important to include a realistic two-dimensional band structure of TiOCl into the effective strongly-correlated models in order to explain the spectral weight behavior seen in angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments. In particular, we observe that the effect of the interchain couplings is a considerable redistribution of the spectral weight around the Gamma point from higher to lower binding energies as compared to a purely one-dimensional model treatment. Hence, our results support a description of TiOCl as a two-dimensional compound with strong anisotropy and also set a benchmark on the spectral features of correlated coupled-chain systems.

Based on a combination of cluster dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and density functional calculations, we calculated the angle-integrated spectral density in the layered $s=1/2$ quantum magnet TiOCl. The agreement with recent photoemission and oxy
gen K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments is found to be good. Th e improvement achieved with this calculation with respect to previous single-site DMFT calculations is an indication of the correlated nature and low-dimensionality of TiOCl.
We present a review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density functional theory which are currently used in electronic structure calculations of strongly-correlated materials where the one-electron description breaks down. We illustra
te the method with several examples where interactions play a dominant role: systems near metal-insulator transition, systems near volume collapse transition, and systems with local moments.
A method to calculate the one-body Greens function for ground states of correlated electron materials is formulated by extending the variational Monte Carlo method. We benchmark against the exact diagonalization (ED) for the one- and two-dimensional
Hubbard models of 16 site lattices, which proves high accuracy of the method. The application of the method to larger-sized Hubbard model on the square lattice correctly reproduces the Mott insulating behavior at half filling and gap structures of $d$-wave superconducting state of the hole doped Hubbard model in the ground state optimized by enforcing the charge uniformity, evidencing a wide applicability to strongly correlated electron systems. From the obtained $d$-wave superconducting gap of the charge uniform state, we find that the gap amplitude at the antinodal point is several times larger than the experimental value, when we employ a realistic parameter as a model of the cuprate superconductors. The effective attractive interaction of carriers in the $d$-wave superconducting state inferred for an optimized state of the Hubbard model is as large as the order of the nearest-neighbor transfer, which is far beyond the former expectation in the cuprates. We discuss the nature of the superconducting state of the Hubbard model in terms of the overestimate of the gap and the attractive interaction in comparison to the cuprates.
We introduce a spectral density functional theory which can be used to compute energetics and spectra of real strongly--correlated materials using methods, algorithms and computer programs of the electronic structure theory of solids. The approach co
nsiders the total free energy of a system as a functional of a local electronic Green function which is probed in the region of interest. Since we have a variety of notions of locality in our formulation, our method is manifestly basis--set dependent. However, it produces the exact total energy and local excitational spectrum provided that the exact functional is extremized. The self--energy of the theory appears as an auxiliary mass operator similar to the introduction of the ground--state Kohn--Sham potential in density functional theory. It is automatically short--ranged in the same region of Hilbert space which defines the local Green function. We exploit this property to find good approximations to the functional. For example, if electronic self--energy is known to be local in some portion of Hilbert space, a good approximation to the functional is provided by the corresponding local dynamical mean--field theory. A simplified implementation of the theory is described based on the linear muffin--tin orbital method widely used in electronic strucure calculations. We demonstrate the power of the approach on the long--standing problem of the anomalous volume expansion of metallic plutonium.
Motivated by the recent experimental data [Phys. Rev. B 79, 100502 (2009)] indicating the existence of a pure stripe charge order over unprecedently wide temperature range in La_{1.8-x}Eu_{0.2}Sr_xCuO_4, we investigate the temperature-induced melting
of the metallic stripe phase. In spite of taking into account local dynamic correlations within a real-space dynamical mean-field theory of the Hubbard model, we observe a mean-field like melting of the stripe order irrespective of the choice of the next-nearest neighbor hopping. The temperature dependence of the single-particle spectral function shows the stripe induced formation of a flat band around the antinodal points accompanied by the opening a gap in the nodal direction.
