In polar insulators where longitudinal and transverse optical phonon modes differ substantially, the electron-phonon coupling affects the energy-band structure primarily through the long-range Frohlich contribution to the Fan term. This diagram has the same structure as the $GW$ self-energy where $W$ originates from the electron part of the screened coulomb interaction. The two can be conveniently combined by combining electron and lattice contributions to the polarizability. Both contributions are nonanalytic at the origin, and diverge as $1/q^2$ so that the predominant contribution comes from a small region around $q{=}0$. Here we adopt a simple estimate for the Frohlich contribution by assuming that the entire phonon part can be attributed to a small volume of $q$ near $q{=}0$. We estimate the magnitude for $mathbf{q}{rightarrow}0$ from a generalized Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation, and the radius from the inverse of the polaron length scale. The gap correction is shown to agree with Frohlichs simple estimate $-alpha_Pomega_L/2$ of the polaron effect.

We apply the quasiparticle self-consistent GW method (QSGW) to slab models of ionic materials, LiF, KF, NaCl, MgO, and CaO, under electric field. Then we obtain the optical dielectric constants E(Slab) from the differences of the slopes of the electr
ostatic potential in the bulk and vacuum regions. Calculated E(Slab) show very good agreements with experiments. For example, we have E(Slab)=2.91 for MgO, in agreement with the experimental value E(Experiment)=2.96. This is in contrast to E(RPA)=2.37, which is calculated in the random-phase approximation for the bulk MgO in QSGW. After we explain the difference between the quasiparticle-based perturbation theory and the Greens function based perturbation theory, we interpret the large difference E(Slab)-E(RPA)=2.91-2.37 as the contribution from the vertex correction of the proper polarization which determines the screened Coulomb interaction W. Our result encourages the theoretical development of self-consistent G0W approximation along the line of QSGW self-consistency, as was performed by Shishkin, Marsman and Kresse [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 246403(2007)].
Ab initio calculations show that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction(DMI)and net magnetization per unit cell in BiFeO3 are reduced when U is increasing from 0 to 2.9 eV, and independent of $J$. Interestingly, the DMI is even destroyed as $U$ exceed
s a critical value of 2.9 eV. We propose a simple model to explain this phenomenon and present the nature of the rotation of the magnetization corresponding to altered antiferrodistortive distortions under DMI in BiFeO3.
We present quasiparticle (QP) energies from fully self-consistent $GW$ (sc$GW$) calculations for a set of prototypical semiconductors and insulators within the framework of the projector-augmented wave methodology. To obtain converged results, both f
inite basis-set corrections and $k$-point corrections are included, and a simple procedure is suggested to deal with the singularity of the Coulomb kernel in the long-wavelength limit, the so called head correction. It is shown that the inclusion of the head corrections in the sc$GW$ calculations is critical to obtain accurate QP energies with a reasonable $k$-point set. We first validate our implementation by presenting detailed results for the selected case of diamond, and then we discuss the converged QP energies, in particular the band gaps, for a set of gapped compounds and compare them to single-shot $G_0W_0$, QP self-consistent $GW$, and previously available sc$GW$ results as well as experimental results.
The atomic-level control achievable in artificially-structured oxide superlattices provides a unique opportunity to explore interface phases of matter including high-density 2D electron gases. Electronic-structure calculations show that the charge di
stribution of the 2D gas is strongly modulated by electron-phonon interactions with significant ionic polarization. Anharmonic finite-temperature effects must be included to reproduce experiment. Density functional perturbation theory is used to parameterize a simple model introduced to represent these effects and predict temperature dependencies.
We present a new all-electron, augmented-wave implementation of the GW approximation using eigenfunctions generated by a recent variant of the full-potential LMTO method. The dynamically screened Coulomb interaction W is expanded in a mixed basis set
which consists of two contributions, local atom-centered functions confined to muffin-tin spheres, and plane waves with the overlap to the local functions projected out. The former can include any of the core states; thus the core and valence states can be treated on an equal footing. Systematic studies of semiconductors and insulators show that the GW fundamental bandgaps consistently fall low in comparison to experiment, and also the quasiparticle levels differ significantly from other, approximate methods, in particular those that approximate the core with a pseudopotential.
