Electronic theory for itinerant in-plane magnetic fluctuations and many-body correlations in NaxCoO2 — •Maxim Korshunov1,2, Ilya Eremin1,3, Alexey Shorikov4, and Vladimir Anisimov41Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, D-01187 Dresden, Germany — 2L.V.

Based on the ab-initio band structure for NaxCoO2 · yH2O we derive the single-electron energies and the effective tight-binding description for the t2g bands using projection procedure. Due to the presence of the next-nearest-neighbor hoppings a local minimum in the electronic dispersion close to the Γ point of the first Brillouin zone forms. Correspondingly, in addition to a large Fermi surface an electron pocket close to the Γ point emerges at high doping concentrations. The latter yields the new scattering channel resulting in a peak structure of the itinerant magnetic susceptibility at small momenta. This indicates dominant itinerant in-plane ferromagnetic fluctuations above certain critical concentration xm, in agreement with neutron scattering data. Below xm the magnetic susceptibility shows a tendency towards the antiferromagnetic fluctuations. We further analyze the many-body effects on the electronic and magnetic excitations using various approximations applicable for different U/t ratio.
