Mott PhenomenaEvolution of the electronic structure between the atomic limit and the
band limit in an open shell situation.The “”in between regime” is ubiquitous central them in strongly
correlated systems, gives rise to interesting physics. Example Mott transition across the actinide series [ B. Johansson Phil Mag. 30,469 (1974)]
Revisit the problem using a new insights and new techniques from the solution of the Mott transition problem within dynamical mean field theory in the model Hamiltonian context.
Use the ideas and concepts that resulted from this development to give physical qualitative insights into real materials.
Turn the technology developed to solve simple models into a practical quantitative electronic structure method .

o Many studies (Freeman, Koelling 1972)APW methods
o ASA and FP-LMTO Soderlind et. Al 1990, Kollar et.al 1997, Boettger et.al 1998, Wills et.al. 1999) give

DFT Studies
LSDA predicts magnetic long range (Solovyev et.al.)
Experimentally Pu is not magnetic. If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA
overestimates the volume by 30% DFT in GGA predicts correctly the volume of the
phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills) is used. This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system

Problems with the conventional viewpoint of Pu
U/W is not so different in alpha and delta The specific heat of delta Pu, is only twice as
big as that of alpha Pu. The susceptibility of alpha Pu is in fact larger
than that of delta Pu. The resistivity of alpha Pu is comparable to
that of delta Pu.

Identify observable, A. Construct an exact functional of <A>=a, [a] which is stationary at the physical value of a.
Example, density in DFT theory. (Fukuda et. al.) When a is local, it gives an exact mapping onto a local
problem, defines a Weiss field. The method is useful when practical and accurate
approximations to the exact functional exist. Example: LDA, GGA, in DFT.
It is useful to introduce a Lagrange multiplier conjugate to a, [a,
It gives as a byproduct a additional lattice information.

LDA+DMFT and LDA+U • Static limit of the LDA+DMFT functional , • with atom HF reduces to the LDA+U functional
of Anisimov Andersen and Zaanen.
Crude approximation. Reasonable in ordered Mott insulators.
• Total energy in DMFT can be approximated by LDA+U with an effective U . Extra screening processes in DMFT produce smaller Ueff.
• ULDA+U < UDMFT

Comments on LDA+DMFT• Static limit of the LDA+DMFT functional , with = HF reduces to LDA+U
• Gives the local spectra and the total energy simultaneously, treating QP and H bands on the same footing.
• Luttinger theorem is obeyed.• Functional formulation is essential for
computations of total energies, opens the way to phonon calculations.

Dynamical Mean Field View of Pu(Savrasov Kotliar and Abrahams, Nature 2001)
Delta and Alpha Pu are both strongly correlated, the DMFT mean field free energy has a double well structure, for the same value of U. One where the f electron is a bit more localized (delta) than in the other (alpha).
Is the natural consequence of the model Hamiltonian phase diagram once electronic structure is about to vary.

Spectral Density Functional
The exact functional can be built in perturbation theory in the interaction (well defined diagrammatic rules )The functional can also be constructed from the atomic limit, but no explicit expression exists.
DFT is useful because good approximations to the exact density functional DFT(r)] exist, e.g. LDA, GGA
A useful approximation to the exact functional can be constructed, the DMFT +LDA functional.
