The original contributions O 55.9 “Insights in the T-matrix formalism” by Pina Romaniello and O 55.10 “GW without emipty states” by Arjan Berger have been withdrawn. Instead, this talk by Matteo Guzzo has been rescheduled from O 10.7 to this slot.
NiO, as a prototype for strongly-correlated materials, has been extensively studied experimentally and theoretically. Its Antiferromagnetic phase is reasonably well described in GW (a many-body approximated approach), but self-consistency is needed to obtain proper wavefunctions for the system. Still, agreement with experiment is not perfect. In particular, the unoccupied d-states result too high in energy by about 1 eV. In the present work we investigate the effects of vertex corrections derived from time-dependent density-functional theory on this result, starting from a simple LDA correction and going to more complex vertices including non-locality.
