Extension of dual-fermion formalism towards disordered systems

ORAL

Abstract

To study the correlation effects in disordered materials, we extend the recently developed dual fermion approach [1] to include systems with disorder. In particular, we consider the effect of nonlocal disorder-induced correlations in the non-interacting Anderson model. Within this method, such nonlocal effects are included in a systematic way as an expansion to the coherent potential approximation (CPA). The ability to properly treat the nonlocal correlations and provide non-local corrections to the CPA, is crucial for the description of the electron localization. In our analysis, we consider the density of sates and localization effects and compare them with the existing results. [1] A.N. Rubtsov, et. al., Phys. Rev. B 79, 045133 (2009).
