An electronic quantity, the correlation strength, is defined as a necessary step for understanding the properties and trends in strongly correlated electronic materials. As a test case, this is applied to the different phases of elemental Pu. Within the GW approximation we have surprisingly found a universal scaling relationship, where the f-electron bandwidth reduction due to correlation effects is shown to depend only on the local density approximation bandwidth and is otherwise independent of crystal structure and lattice constant.

Electronic structure calculations combining the local-density approximation with an exact diagonalization of the Anderson impurity model show an intermediate 5f^5-5f^6-valence ground state and delocalization of the 5f^5 multiplet of the Pu atom 5f-sh
ell in PuCoIn_5, PuCoGa_5, and delta-Pu. The 5f-local magnetic moment is compensated by a moment formed in the surrounding cloud of conduction electrons. For PuCoGa_5 and delta-Pu the compensation is complete and the Anderson impurity ground state is a singlet. For PuCoIn_5 the compensation is partial and the Pu ground state is magnetic. We suggest that the unconventional d-wave superconductivity is likely mediated by the 5f-states antiferromagnetic fluctuations in PuCoIn_5, and by valence fluctuations in PuCoGa_5.
A combination of Density Functional Theory and the Dynamical Mean Field theory (DMFT) is used to calculate the magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and the temperature dependence of the valence band photoemission spectra. The continuous-time hybri
dization expansion quantum Monte-Carlo is utilized to provide the first approximation-free DMFT solution of emph{fcc} $delta$-Pu which includes the full rotationally-invariant exchange interaction. We predict that $delta$-Pu has a Pauli-like magnetic susceptibility near ambient temperature, as in experiment, indicating that electronic coherence causes the absence of local moments. Additionally, We show that volume expansion causes a crossover from incoherent to coherent electronic behavior at increasingly lower temperatures.
The electronic correlation strength is a basic quantity that characterizes the physical properties of materials such as transition metal oxides. Determining correlation strengths requires both precise definitions and a careful comparison between expe
riment and theory. In this paper we define the correlation strength via the magnitude of the electron self-energy near the Fermi level. For the case of LaNiO$_3$, we obtain both the experimental and theoretical mass enhancements $m^star/m$ by considering high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and density functional + dynamical mean field theory (DFT + DMFT) calculations. We use valence-band photoemission data to constrain the free parameters in the theory, and demonstrate a quantitative agreement between the experiment and theory when both the realistic crystal structure and strong electronic correlations are taken into account. These results provide a benchmark for the accuracy of the DFT+DMFT theoretical approach, and can serve as a test case when considering other complex materials. By establishing the level of accuracy of the theory, this work also will enable better quantitative predictions when engineering new emergent properties in nickelate heterostructures.
We present the results of calculations for Pu and Am performed using an implementation of self-consistent relativistic GW method. The key feature of our scheme is to evaluate polarizability and self-energy in real space and Matsubaras time. We compar
e our GW results with the calculations using local density (LDA) and quasiparticle (QP) approximations and also with scalar-relativistic calculations. By comparing our calculated electronic structures with experimental data, we highlight the importance of both relativistic effects and effects of self-consistency in this GW calculation.
First principles constrained density functional theory scheme in Wannier functions formalism has been used to calculate Coulomb repulsion U and Hunds exchange J parameters for iron 3d electrons in LaFeAsO. Results strongly depend on the basis set use
d in calculations: when O-2p, As-4p, and Fe-3d orbitals and corresponding bands are included, computation results in U=3-4 eV, however, with the basis set restricted to Fe-3d orbitals and bands only, computation gives parameters corresponding to F^0=0.8 eV, J=0.5 eV. LDA+DMFT (the Local Density Approximation combined with the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory) calculation with this parameters results in weakly correlated electronic structure that is in agreement with X-ray experimental spectra.
