The Electronic Correlation Strength of Pu
Strongly Correlated Electrons
2015-06-03 v3
Abstract
An electronic quantity, the correlation strength, is defined as a necessary step for understanding the properties and trends in strongly correlated electronic materials. As a test case, this is applied to the different phases of elemental Pu. Within the GW approximation we have surprisingly found a "universal" scaling relationship, where the f-electron bandwidth reduction due to correlation effects is shown to depend only on the local density approximation bandwidth and is otherwise independent of crystal structure and lattice constant.
