Continuous time quantum Monte Carlo method for
multiorbital strongly correlated systems
Abstract:
We propose a numerically exact scheme to calculate spectral
and magnetic properties of correlated systems. The scheme
employs the weak-coupling determinantal continuous time
quantum Monte Carlo method for the solution of the quantum
impurity problem. This approach can treat multiorbital impurity
models including Coulomb interaction of the most general form.
The realistic five-band model for transition metal atom d-shells
with full Coulomb interaction vertex as a Kondo impurity in
a metal matrix has been calculated. We show a possibility to
calculate magnetic susceptibilities of a single-spin Kondo
impurity model with coupling to different environments:
an ultrasmall grain, the Anderson model, corresponding to
a lattice with random on-site energy levels, and a twodimensional
lattice, where the density of states has a van Hove singularity.
In order to calculate properties of correlated solid, a real
correlated solid, namely strontium ruthenate Sr2RuO4, the continuous
time quantum Monte Carlo method is used as an impurity solver within
the dynamical mean-field theory.
