چکیده
We have adapted the maximally-localized Wannier function approach of [I. Souza, N. Marzari and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 65, 035109 (2002)] to the density functional theory based Siesta method [J. M. Soler et al., J. Phys.: Cond. Mat. 14, 2745 (2002)] and applied it to the study of Co substitutional impurities in bulk copper as well as to the Cu (111) surface. In the Co impurity case, we have reduced the problem to the Co d-electrons and the Cu sp-band, permitting us to obtain an Anderson-like Hamiltonian from well defined density functional parameters in a fully orthonormal basis set. In order to test the quality of the Wannier approach to surfaces, we have studied the electronic structure of the Cu (111) surface by again transforming the density functional problem into the Wannier representation. An excellent description of the Shockley surface state is attained, permitting us to be confident in the application of this method to future studies of magnetic adsorbates in the presence of an extended surface state.

متن کاملThe simultaneous effect of 3d impurities of transition metals and oxygen vacancy defect on TiO2 anatase and rutile
In this work, the formation of oxygen-vacancy defect in 3d metals-doped TiO2 anatase and rutile structures is first investigated. The systematic calculations of formation energy, crystalline stability, band structure and density of state (DOS) of TiO2 samples of anatase and rutile doped with 3d transition metals with and without oxygen defect is done using FHI-aims as a software package based o...

Calculation of Hall coefficient in semiclassical approach requires the first and the second derivatives of the energy bands at the Fermi level. We use the Maximally Localized Wannier Function technique to determine the required band derivatives and calculate the ordinary Hall conductivity and ordinary Hall coefficient in Al,Cu, Pd, Li, Au, Ag and Pb cubic metals.
متن کاملCalculation of maximally localized Wannier functions and hopping parameters for LaMnO3
Strong electronic correlations lead to rich phase diagrams of electronic and magnetic states for many transition-metal oxides. LaMnO3 is one of the prototype materials to study the resulting phenomena such as for example colossal magnetoresistance. The widely used local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) fails to correctly describe correlated-electron systems. Theref...
متن کاملKondo effect of single Co adatoms on Cu surfaces.
The Kondo resonance of Co adatoms on the Cu(100) and Cu(111) surfaces has been studied by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We demonstrate the scaling of the Kondo temperature T(K) with the host electron density at the magnetic impurity. The quantitative analysis of the tunneling spectra reveals that the Kondo resonance is dominated by the Cu bulk electrons. While at the Cu(100) surface both tun...
