The sensitivity of Density Functional Theory plus Dynamical Mean Field Theory calculations to different constructions of the correlated orbitals is investigated via a detailed comparison of results obtained for the quantum material NdNiO$_2$ using different Wannier and projector methods to define the correlation problem. Using the same interaction parameters we find that the different methods produce different results for the orbital and band basis mass enhancements and for the orbital occupancies, with differing implications regarding the importance of multiorbital effects and charge transfer physics. Using interaction parameters derived from cRPA enhances the difference in results. For the isostructural cuprate CaCuO$_2$, the different methods give quantitatively different mass enhancements but still result in the same qualitative physics.

The stationary functional of the all-electron density functional plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) formalism to perform free energy calculations and structural relaxations is implemented for the first time. Here, the first order error in th e density leads to a much smaller, second order error in the free energy. The method is applied to several well known correlated materials; metallic SrVO$_3$, Mott insulating FeO, and elemental Cerium, to show that it predicts the lattice constants with very high accuracy. In Cerium, we show that our method predicts the iso-structural transition between the $alpha$ and $gamma$ phases, and resolve the long standing controversy in the driving mechanism of this transition.

We have investigated the temperature (T)-dependent evolution of electronic structures and magnetic properties of an itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3, employing the combined scheme of the density functional theory and the dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+ DMFT). The inclusion of finite dynamical correlation effects beyond the DFT well describes not only the incoherent hump structure observed in the photoemission experiment but also the T-dependent magnetic properties in accordance with experiments. We have shown that the magnetization of SrRuO3 evolves with the Stoner behavior below the Curie temperature (Tc), reflecting the weak itinerant ferromagnetic behavior, but the local residual magnetic moment persists even above Tc, indicating the local magnetic moment behavior. We suggest that the ferromagnetism of SrRuO3 has dual nature of both weak and local moment limits, even though the magnetism of SrRuO3 is more itinerant than that of Fe.
We formulate the on-site occupation dependent exchange correlation energy and effective potential of hybrid functionals for localized states and connect them to the on-site correction term of the DFT+U method. Our derivation provides a theoretical ju stification for adding a DFT+U-like onsite potential in hybrid DFT calculations to resolve issues caused by overscreening of localized states. The resulting scheme, hybrid- DFT+Vw, is tested for chromium impurity in wurtzite AlN and vanadium impurity in 4H-SiC, which are paradigm examples of systems with different degree of localization between host and impurity orbitals.
We implemented the derivative of the free energy functional with respect to the atom displacements, so called force, within the combination of Density Functional Theory and the Embedded Dynamical Mean Field Theory. We show that in combination with th e numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo (MC) impurity solver, the MC noise cancels to a great extend, so that the method can be used very efficiently for structural optimization of correlated electron materials. As an application of the method, we show how strengthening of the fluctuating moment in FeSe superconductor leads to a substantial increase of the anion height, and consequently to a very large effective mass, and also strong orbital differentiation.
We investigate the effect of charge self-consistency (CSC) in density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) calculations compared to simpler one-shot calculations for materials where interaction effects lead to a strong redist ribution of electronic charges between different orbitals or between different sites. We focus on two systems close to a metal-insulator transition, for which the importance of CSC is currently not well understood. Specifically, we analyze the strain-related orbital polarization in the correlated metal CaVO$_3$ and the spontaneous electronic charge disproportionation in the rare-earth nickelate LuNiO$_3$. In both cases, we find that the CSC treatment reduces the charge redistribution compared to cheaper one-shot calculations. However, while the MIT in CaVO$_3$ is only slightly shifted due to the reduced orbital polarization, the effect of the site polarization on the MIT in LuNiO$_3$ is more subtle. Furthermore, we highlight the role of the double-counting correction in CSC calculations containing different inequivalent sites.
