The electronic correlation effect of enhancing/reducing
the effective crystal field in multi-orbital correlated materials can be crucial in determining the topology of the Fermi surface and, hence, the physical properties of these systems. Consequently, an accurate theoretical prediction of the Fermi surface structure is a very desirable goal, in
particular for the emerging field of engineering new correlated heterostructures. In this respect, however, the application of one of the most powerful ab-initio scheme, i.e. the merger between the local density approximation (LDA) and the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), can give contractdicting results:
In recent studies of Ni-based heterostructure, the predicted Fermi surface is totally different depending on whether less correleated p orbitals are or are not included in the calculation[1,2]. The LDA+DMFT model study we present here aims at a clarifying the origin of this problem and at identifying the key parameters, which control the Fermi surface properties of these systems.
