Hubbard-U calculations for Cu from first-principles Wannier functions
We present first-principles calculations of optimally localized Wannier
functions for Cu and use these for an ab-initio determination of Hubbard
(Coulomb) matrix elements. We use a standard linearized muffin-tin orbital
calculation in the atomic-sphere approximation (LMTO-ASA) to calculate Bloch
functions, and from these determine maximally localized Wannier functions using
a method proposed by Marzari and Vanderbilt. The resulting functions were
highly localized, with greater than 89% of the norm of the function within the
central site for the occupied Wannier states. Two methods for calculating
Coulomb matrix elements from Wannier functions are presented and applied to fcc
Cu. For the unscreened on-site Hubbard for the Cu 3d-bands we have obtained
about 25eV. These results are also compared with results obtained from a
constrained local-density approximation (LDA) calculation.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, 5 table
