Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel oxide: An LSDA+U study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the description of both electron energy loss spectra and parameters characterizing the structural stability of the material compared with local spin density functional theory by taking better account of electron correlations in the $3d$ shell of metal ions in nickel oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological semimetal and Fermi-arc surface states in the electronic structure of pyrochlore iridates

TL;DR: In this paper, the topological semimetal, a three-dimensional phase of a magnetic solid, is described and it may be realized in a class of pyrochlore iridates based on calculations using the LDA+U$ method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic Structure of Pyrochlore Iridates: From Topological Dirac Metal to Mott Insulator

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic structure of pyrochlore iridates was investigated using density functional theory, LDA+U method, and effective low energy models, and a remarkably rich phase diagram emerges on tuning the correlation strength U.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic structure calculations with dynamical mean-field theory

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the basic ideas and techniques of spectral density functional theory which are currently used in electronic structure calculations of strongly correlated materials where the one-dimensional electron description breaks down is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linear-response theory and lattice dynamics: A muffin-tin-orbital approach

TL;DR: A detailed description of a method for calculating static linear-response functions in the problem of lattice dynamics based on density functional theory and it uses linear muffin-tin orbitals as a basis for representing first-order corrections to the one-electron wave functions.
