Impurity problems for steady-state nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The mapping of steady-state nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory from the lattice to the impurity is described in detail. Our focus is on the case with current flow under a constant dc electric field of arbitrary magnitude. In addition to formulating the problem via path integrals and functional derivatives, we also describe the distribution function dependence of the retarded and advanced Green’s functions. Our formal developments are exact for the Falicov-Kimball model. We also show how these formal developments are modified for more complicated models (like the Hubbard model).

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory: an auxiliary quantum master equation approach.
We introduce a versatile method to compute electronic steady-state properties of strongly correlated extended quantum systems out of equilibrium. The approach is based on dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), in which the original system is mapped onto an auxiliary nonequilibrium impurity problem imbedded in a Markovian environment. The steady-state Green's function of the auxiliary system is sol...
متن کاملCurrent biasing a multilayered device as a boundary condition for inhomogeneous nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory
Recently, nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory was developed as a new technique to solve the bulk nonequilibrium many-body problem. The computational effort needed to solve the nonequilibrium problem in the bulk is similar to the efforts needed to solve the inhomogeneous multilayered problem for current flow perpendicular to the planes. Because the leads provide the appropriate boundary c...
متن کاملHamiltonian-based impurity solver for nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory
We derive an exact mapping from the action of nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to a single-impurity Anderson model (SIAM) with time-dependent parameters, which can be solved numerically by exact diagonalization. The representability of the nonequilibrium DMFT action by a SIAM is established as a rather general property of nonequilibrium Green functions. We also obtain the noneq...

We derive the formalism for steady state nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory in a real-time formalism along the Kadanoff-Baym contour. The resulting equations of motion are first transformed to Wigner coordinates (average and relative time), and then re-expressed in terms of differential operators. Finally, we perform a Fourier transform with respect to the relative time, and take the fi...
متن کاملSteady-state nonequilibrium density of States of driven strongly correlated lattice models in infinite dimensions.
An exact formalism for calculating the retarded and advanced Green's functions of strongly correlated lattice models in a uniform electric field is derived within dynamical mean-field theory. To illustrate the method, we solve for the nonequilibrium density of states of the Hubbard model in both the metallic and Mott-insulating phases at half-filling (with an arbitrary strength electric field) ...
