For many strongly correlated systems, the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has proven its value as a numerically feasable and nevertheless physically sound approximation. In combination with the local density approximation (LDA), several material specific phenomena have been successfully studied. However, most of the former LDA+DMFT calculations in a manifest multi-orbital context were restricted to density-density interactions in the many-body hamiltonian and rather high temperatures. These restrictions rendered it difficult to accurately compute susceptibilities that are actually comparable with experimental data.
Due to the novel generation of continuous-time quantum-Monte-Carlo (CT-QMC) impurity solvers, these latter limitations have been lifted. Hence in this talk we want to present the computation of (frequency-dependent) spin susceptibilites for realistic correlated metals using the hybridization-expansion CT-QMC technique [1]. As a concrete example we will discuss the intriguing spin correlations in the strongly correlated NaxCoO2 system.
