Coulomb parameters and photoemission for the molecular metal TTF-TCNQ
We employ density-functional theory to calculate realistic parameters for an
extended Hubbard model of the molecular metal TTF-TCNQ. Considering both intra-
and intermolecular screening in the crystal, we find significant longer-range
Coulomb interactions along the molecular stacks, as well as inter-stack
coupling. We show that the long-range Coulomb term of the extended Hubbard
model leads to a broadening of the spectral density, likely resolving the
problems with the interpretation of photoemission experiments using a simple
Hubbard model only.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
