We discuss the spectral, transport and magnetic properties of quantum nanowires composed of Nleq 13 atoms and containing either even or odd numbers of valence electrons. In our approach we combine Exact Diagonalization and Ab Initio calculations (EDABI method). The analysis is performed as a function of the interatomic distance. The momentum distribution differs drastically for those obtained for even N with those for odd N, whereas the Drude weight evolves smoothly. A role of boundary conditions is stressed.

We introduce a computational scheme for calculating the electronic structure of random alloys that includes electronic correlations within the framework of the combined density functional and dynamical mean-field theory. By making use of the particul
arly simple parameterization of the electron Greens function within the linearized muffin-tin orbitals method, we show that it is possible to greatly simplify the embedding of the self-energy. This in turn facilitates the implementation of the coherent potential approximation, which is used to model the substitutional disorder. The computational technique is tested on the Cu-Pd binary alloy system, and for disordered Mn-Ni interchange in the half-metallic NiMnSb.
Using density functional plus dynamical mean-field theory method (DFT+DMFT) with full self-consistency over the charge density, we study the effect of electronic correlations on the electronic structure, magnetic properties, orbital-dependent band re
normalizations, and Fermi surface of the tetragonal phase of bulk FeS. We perform a direct structural optimization of the $P_4/nmm$ crystal structure of paramagnetic FeS, with respect to the lattice constant $a$ and the internal coordinate $z_mathrm{S}$ of atom S. Our results show an anomalous sensitivity of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of FeS to fine details of its crystals structure. Upon expansion of the lattice volume, we observe a remarkable change of the electronic structure of FeS which is associated with a complete reconstruction of the Fermi surface topology (Lifshitz transition). This behavior is ascribed to a correlation-induced shift of the Van Hove singularity associated with the Fe $t_2$ orbitals at the $M$ point across the Fermi level. The Lifshitz phase transition is accompanied by a significant growth of local magnetic moments and emergence of strong orbital-selective correlations. It is seen as a pronounced anomaly (`kink) in the total energies upon expansion of the lattice, associated with a remarkable enhancement of compressibility. This behavior is accompanied by an orbital-dependent formation of local moments, a crossover from itinerant to localized orbital-selective moment behavior of the Fe $3d$ electrons. While exhibiting weak effective mass enhancement of the Fe $3d$ states $m^*/m sim 1.3-1.4$, correlation effects reveal a strong impact on a position of the Van Hove singularity at the $M$ point, implying a complex interplay between electronic correlations and band structure effects in FeS.
Simultaneous occurrence of the Mott and band gap in correlated semiconductors results in a complex optical response with the nature of the absorption edge difficult to resolve both experimentally and theoretically. Here, we combine a dynamical mean-f
ield theory approach to localized 4f shells with an improved description of band gaps by a semi-local exchange-correlation potential to calculate the optical properties of the light rare-earth fluorosulfides LnSF (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) from first principles. In agreement with experiment, we find the absorption edge in SmSF to stem from S-3p to Sm-4f transitions, while the Gd compound behaves as an ordinary p-d gap semiconductor. In the unexplored PrSF and NdSF systems we predict a rather unique occurrence of strongly hybridized 4f-5d states at the bottom of the conduction band. The nature of the absorption edge underlies a peculiar anisotropy of the optical conductivity in each system.
Since their discovery nearly a decade ago, plutonium-based superconductors have attracted considerable interest, which is now heightened by the latest discovery of superconductivity in PuCoIn5. In the framework of density functional theory (DFT) with
in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) together with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), we present a comparative study of the electronic structure of PuCoIn5 with the related material, PuCoGa5. Overall, a similar GGA-based electronic structure, including the density of states, energy dispersion, and Fermi surface topology, was found for both compounds. The GGA Pu 5f band was narrower in PuCoIn5 than in PuCoGa5, resulting in an effective reduction of Kondo screening in the former system, as also shown by DMFT calculations. This phenomenon is due to the expanded lattice for PuCoIn5.
We study the optical properties of the layered rhodium oxide K0.49RhO2, which is isostructural to the thermoelectric material NaxCoO2. The optical conductivity shows broad interband transition peaks as well as a low-energy Drude-like upturn, reminisc
ent of the optical spectra of NaxCoO2. We find that the peaks clearly shift to higher energies with respect to those of NaxCoO2, indicating a larger crystal-field splitting between eg and t2g bands in K0.49RhO2. The Drude weights suggest that the effective mass of K0.49RhO2 is almost two times smaller than that of NaxCoO2. These differences in electronic structures and correlation effects between NaxCoO2 and K0.49RhO2 are discussed in terms of the difference between Co 3d and Rh 4d orbitals.
