We propose a many-body method for band-structure calculations in strongly correlated electron systems and apply it to NiO. The method may be viewed as a translationally invariant version of the cluster method of Fujimori and Minami. Thereby…
The band structure of a strongly correlated semiconductor as NiO has been the object of much debate [PRL 103, 036404 (2009); PRL 102, 226401 (2009)]. Most authors, using computational techniques well beyond the simple density functional…
We present research results on the electronic transport in heterostructures based on p-type nickel oxide (NiO) with the n-type oxide semiconductors zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium oxide (CdO). NiO is a desirable candidate for application in…
We explore the interplay of electron-electron correlations and surface effects in the prototypical correlated insulating material, NiO. In particular, we compute the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and surface energies of the…
Using a combination of {\it ab initio} bandstructure methods and dynamical mean-field theory we study the single-particle spectrum of the prototypical charge-transfer insulator NiO. Good agreement with photoemission and…
Calculations of formation energies and charge transition levels of defects routinely rely on density functional theory (DFT) for describing the electronic structure. Since bulk band gaps of semiconductors and insulators are not well…
Wide-band-gap insulators such as NiO offer the exciting prospect of coherently manipulating electronic correlations with strong optical fields. Contrary to metals where rapid dephasing of optical excitation via electronic processes occurs,…
We describe the ground- and excited-state electronic structure of bulk MnO and NiO, two prototypical correlated electron materials, using coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations (CCSD). As a corollary, this work also…
We present a method for calculating the spectrum of extended solids within reduced density matrix functional theory. An application of this method to the strongly correlated transition metal oxide series demonstrates that (i) an insulating…
Perovskites with Bi or Pb on the A-site host a number of interesting and yet to be understood phenomena such as negative thermal expansion in BiNiO$_3$. We employ hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy of Ni 2$p$ core-level as well as…
Soft x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopy of the O K-edge are employed to investigate the electronic structure of wurtzite ZnO(0001). A quasiparticle band structure calculated within the GW approximation agrees well with the data,…
A non-trivial balance between Coulomb repulsion and kinematic effects determines the electronic structure of correlated electron materials. The use electromagnetic fields strong enough to rival these native microscopic interactions allows…
A theory of heterostructures comprised of LaTiO$_3$ (a Mott insulator) and SrTiO$_3$ (a band insulator) is presented. The band structure of the Ti $d$% -electrons is treated with a nearest neighbor tight-binding approximation; the electric…
Obtaining accurate band structures of correlated solids has been one of the most important and challenging problems in first-principles electronic structure calculation. There have been promising recent active developments of wave function…
The evolution of the electronic structures of strongly correlated insulators with doping has long been a central fundamental question in condensed matter physics; it is also of great practical relevance for applications. We have studied the…
Using a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments with first principle calculations, we demonstrate that insulating KCuO_2 contains Cu in an unusually-high formal-3+ valence state, the ligand-to-metal (O to Cu) charge…
Using a density-functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory methodology, we compute the many-body electronic structure and optical conductivity of NdNiO$_{2}$ under the influence of large scattering rates on the Nd($5d$) bands and…
We review recent results on the properties of materials with correlated electrons obtained within the LDA+DMFT approach, a combination of a conventional band structure approach based on the local density approximation (LDA) and the…
Heterostructures made of transition metal oxides are new tailor-made materials which are attracting much attention. We have constructed a 6-band k.p Hamiltonian and used it within the envelope function method to calculate the subband…
Infinite-layer nickelate thin films materialize an intriguing new platform for high-temperature unconventional superconductivity, with LaNiO$_2$/SrTiO$_3$ as reference setup. We discuss the relative stability of the elementary interfaces of…
