Anomalous Hall conductivity in Ni and its alloys — •D. Ködderitzsch, K. Chadova, J. Minar, and H. Ebert — Universität München, Department Chemie, Butenandtstraße 5-13, D-81377 München, Germany

The anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) in Ni as discussed on the basis of the intrinsic contribution shows a strong overestimation of the AHC [1]. Recent studies using the LSDA+U approximation seem to remedy this problem [2]. However, still missing is taking into account the temperature dependence of the AHC which has recently been re-investigated [3] and changes the picture.

Using our recently implemented [4] first-principles approach to describe transverse transport based on the Kubo-formalism in the Kubo-Středa formulation we study the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) in Ni. To take into account the effect of correlations we extended our method to employ the LSDA+U, as well as the LSDA+DMFT to go beyond the LSDA approximation to DFT. Furthermore, we study the influence of finite temperatures on the AHC by using an alloy-analogy for a quasistatic representation of the thermal displacements of the atoms. In addition, we performed calculations for dilute impurities in the Ni host.
