GW-based \textit{ab initio} downfolding aiming at strongly correlated electron system
ORAL
Abstract
Aiming at \textit{ab initio} description of real complex systems under effects of strong electron correlations, we develop a GW-based downfolding scheme formulated in the plane-wave basis set. Our method is successfully applied to organic conductors, the family of (BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$X. At the heart of our downfolding scheme lies utilizing the energy hierarchy of the system [1]: The low-energy hierarchy near the Fermi level (\textit{$\varepsilon $}$_{ f}\pm $2$\sim $3 eV) determines physics while is affected by the remaining high-energy part of hierarchy. We renormalize the high-energy part into low energy, based on the GW scheme. The renormalization generates a low-energy model characterized by renormalized transfers and effective screened Coulomb/exchange interactions, having frequency dependence arising from retarded screening by eliminated high-energy electrons. Thus, the low-energy frequency-dependent effective model is mapped out from the whole high- plus low-energy system in an \textit{ab initio} procedure. [1] F. Aryasetiawan \textit{et al}., Phys. Rev.
