LDA+DMFT study of Ca₂RuO₄ and Sr₂RuO₄ using the full on-site Coulomb interaction — •Evgeny Gorelov¹, Eva Pavarini¹, and Alexander I. Lichtenstein² — ¹Forschungszentrum Jülich, IFF, 52425 Jülich, Germany — ²Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Hamburg, 20355 Hamburg, Germany

The Ca_2−xSr_xRuO₄ layered ruthenates display a complex phase diagram. Whereas Sr₂RuO₄ is a correlated metal, the progressive substitution Sr with Ca leads to a number of structural phase changes. Finally, Ca₂RuO₄ exhibits Mott transition at T≈350 K [1].

In this work we calculate the photoemission spectra of Sr₂RuO₄ [2] and study the temperature-induced Mott transition in Ca₂RuO₄ [3].

As a method we use the LDA+DMFT technique. First we construct a material-specific NMTO Wannier basis for the partially filled 4d t_2g bands and the corresponding three-band t_2g Hubbard Hamiltonian. Then we solve this model within the DMFT approximation retaining the full self-energy matrix and using the Continuous Time QMC impurity solver [4]. This solver allow us to analyze the role played by the spin-flip terms of the on-site Coulomb vertex.
