First principles approaches have been successful in solving many-body Hamiltonians for real materials to an extent when correlations are weak or moderate. As the electronic correlations become stronger often embedding methods based on first principles approaches are used to better treat the correlations by solving a suitably chosen many-body Hamiltonian with a higher level theory. Such combined methods are often referred to as second principles approaches. At such level of the theory the self energy, i.e. the functional that embodies the stronger electronic correlations, is either a function of energy or momentum or both. The success of such theories is commonly measured by the quality of the self energy functional. However, self-consistency in the self-energy should, in principle, also change the real space charge distribution in a correlated material and be able to modify the electronic eigenfunctions, which is often undermined in second principles approaches. Here we study the impact of charge self-consistency within two example cases: TiSe$_{2}$, a three-dimensional charge-density-wave candidate material, and CrBr$_{3}$, a two-dimensional ferromagnet, and show how real space charge re-distribution due to correlation effects taken into account within a first principles Greens function based many-body perturbative approach is key in driving qualitative changes to the final electronic structure of these materials.
The fluctuations of the magnetic order parameter, or longitudinal spin excitations, are investigated theoretically in the ferromagnetic Fe and Ni as well as in the antiferromagnetic phase of the pnictide superconductor FeSe. The charge and spin dynam
We present results of an ab-initio study of the electronic structure of 140 rare earth compounds. Specifically we predict an electronic phase diagram of the entire range of rare earth monopnictides and monochalcogenides, composed of metallic, semicon
The interplay between multiple bands, sizable multi-band electronic correlations and strong spin-orbit coupling may conspire in selecting a rather unusual unconventional pairing symmetry in layered Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$. This mandates a detailed revisit
Vanadium dioxide(VO$_2$) is a paradigmatic example of a strongly correlated system that undergoes a metal-insulator transition at a structural phase transition. To date, this transition has necessitated significant post-hoc adjustments to theory in o
Many inorganic pigments contain heavy metals hazardous to health and environment. Much attention has been devoted to the quest for non-toxic alternatives based on rare-earth elements. The computation of colors from first principles is a challenge to
