We develop a computational approach for calculating the optical conductivity in the augmented plane wave basis set of Wien2K and apply it for thoroughly comparing the full dipole matrix element calculation and the Peierls approximation. The results for SrVO3 and V2O3 show that the Peierls approximation, which is commonly used in model calculations, works well for optical transitions between the d orbitals. In a typical transition metal oxide, these transitions are solely responsible for the optical conductivity at low frequencies. The Peierls approximation does not work, on the other hand, for optical transitions between p- and d-orbitals which usually became important at frequencies of a few eVsread more

TL;DR: An alternative design strategy for identifying high-conductivity, high-transparency metals relies on strong electron-electron interactions resulting in an enhancement in the carrier effective mass, thereby opening up new avenues to develop transparent conductors.

Dual fermion approach to nonlocal correlations in the Hubbard model
TL;DR: In this paper, a new diagrammatic technique is developed to describe pseudogap formation in the Hubbard-like models, which utilizes an exact transition to the dual set of variables, and therefore becomes possible to treat the irreducible vertices of an effective single-impurity problem as small parameters.
