Conserving quasiparticle calculations for small metal clusters

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

A novel approach for GW-based calculations of quasiparticle properties for finite systems is presented, in which the screened interaction is obtained directly from a linear response calculation of the density-density correlation function. The conserving nature of our results is shown by explicit evaluation of the ff-sum rule. As an application, energy renormalizations and level broadenings are calculated for the closed-shell Na9+_9^+ and Na21+_{21}^+ clusters, as well as for Na4_4. Pronounced improvements of conserving approximations to RPA-level results are obtained.
