Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Computational materials science
  • Quantum mechanics

Background:

  • Accurate calculation of the electronic self-energy is crucial for understanding material properties.
  • Existing methods often face challenges with computational cost and accuracy for real solids.
  • Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is a powerful tool but can be computationally intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a novel, self-consistent version of Hedin's perturbation theory for electronic structure calculations.
  • To investigate the spatial and energy dependence of the self-energy in various materials.
  • To assess the computational efficiency and accuracy of the new method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel self-consistent implementation of Hedin's perturbation theory.
  • Calculated the space- and energy-dependent self-energy for multiple materials.
  • Employed a perturbative impurity solver within a dynamical mean-field theory framework.

Main Results:

  • The calculated self-energy was found to be local in real space.
  • Rapid convergence was observed, typically within second- to third-nearest neighbors.
  • Higher-order corrections were evaluated and found to be localized within a single unit cell.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a computationally efficient and accurate approach for electronic structure calculations.
  • This work offers a fully self-consistent implementation of DMFT for real solids using a perturbative solver.
  • The findings pave the way for more precise predictions of material properties.
