  text: The influence of electronic many-body interactions, spin-orbit coupling, and
    thermal lattice vibrations on the electronic structure of lithium niobate is calculated
    from first principles. Self-energy calculations in the GW approximation show that
    the inclusion of self-consistency in the Green function G and the screened Coulomb
    potential W opens the band gap far stronger than found in previous G0W0 calculations
    but slightly overestimates its actual value due to the neglect of excitonic effects
    in W. A realistic frozen-lattice band gap of about 5.9 eV is obtained by combining
    hybrid density functional theory with the QSGW0 scheme. The renormalization of
    the band gap due to electron-phonon coupling, derived here using molecular dynamics
    as well as density functional perturbation theory, reduces this value by about
    0.5 eV at room temperature. Spin-orbit coupling does not noticeably modify the
    fundamental gap but gives rise to a Rashba-like spin texture in the conduction
    band.

  text: The phonon dispersions of the ferro‐ and paraelectric phase of LiTaO3 are
    calculated within density‐functional perturbation theory. The longitudinal optical
    phonon modes are theoretically derived and compared with available experimental
    data. Our results confirm the recent phonon assignment proposed by Margueron et
    al. [J. Appl. Phys. 111, 104105 (2012)] on the basis of spectroscopical studies.
    A comparison with the phonon band structure of the related material LiNbO3 shows
    minor differences that can be traced to the atomic‐mass difference between Ta
    and Nb. The presence of phonons with imaginary frequencies for the paraelectric
    phase suggests that it does not correspond to a minimum energy structure, and
    is compatible with an order‐disorder type phase transition.

  text: The vibrational properties of stoichiometric LiNbO3 are analyzed within density-functional
    perturbation theory in order to obtain the complete phonon dispersion of the material.
    The phonon density of states of the ferroelectric (paraelectric) phase shows two
    (one) distinct band gaps separating the high-frequency (~800 cm−1) optical branches
    from the continuum of acoustic and lower optical phonon states. This result leads
    to specific heat capacites in close agreement with experimental measurements in
    the range 0–350 K and a Debye temperature of 574 K. The calculated zero-point
    renormalization of the electronic Kohn–Sham eigenvalues reveals a strong dependence
    on the phonon wave vectors, especially near Γ. Integrated over all phonon modes,
    our results indicate a vibrational correction of the electronic band gap of 0.41 eV
    at 0 K, which is in excellent agreement with the extrapolated temperature-dependent
    measurements.

  text: Using ab initio computational methods, we study the structural and electronic
    properties of strained silicon, which has emerged as a promising technology to
    improve the performance of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect
    transistors. In particular, higher electron mobilities are observed in n-doped
    samples with monoclinic strain along the [110] direction, and experimental evidence
    relates this to changes in the effective mass as well as the scattering rates.
    To assess the relative importance of these two factors, we combine density-functional
    theory in the local-density approximation with the GW approximation for the electronic
    self-energy and investigate the effect of uniaxial and biaxial strains along the
    [110] direction on the structural and electronic properties of Si. Longitudinal
    and transverse components of the electron effective mass as a function of the
    strain are derived from fits to the quasiparticle band structure and a diagonalization
    of the full effective-mass tensor. The changes in the effective masses and the
    energy splitting of the conduction-band valleys for uniaxial and biaxial strains
    as well as their impact on the electron mobility are analyzed. The self-energy
    corrections within GW lead to band gaps in excellent agreement with experimental
    measurements and slightly larger effective masses than in the local-density approximation.

  text: Collective spin excitations form a fundamental class of excitations in magnetic
    materials. As their energy reaches down to only a few meV, they are present at
    all temperatures and substantially influence the properties of magnetic systems.
    To study the spin excitations in solids from first principles, we have developed
    a computational scheme based on many-body perturbation theory within the full-potential
    linearized augmented plane-wave (FLAPW) method. The main quantity of interest
    is the dynamical transverse spin susceptibility or magnetic response function,
    from which magnetic excitations, including single-particle spin-flip Stoner excitations
    and collective spin-wave modes as well as their lifetimes, can be obtained. In
    order to describe spin waves we include appropriate vertex corrections in the
    form of a multiple-scattering T matrix, which describes the coupling of electrons
    and holes with different spins. The electron–hole interaction incorporates the
    screening of the many-body system within the random-phase approximation. To reduce
    the numerical cost in evaluating the four-point T matrix, we exploit a transformation
    to maximally localized Wannier functions that takes advantage of the short spatial
    range of electronic correlation in the partially filled d or f orbitals of magnetic
    materials. The theory and the implementation are discussed in detail. In particular,
    we show how the magnetic response function can be evaluated for arbitrary k points.
    This enables the calculation of smooth dispersion curves, allowing one to study
    fine details in the k dependence of the spin-wave spectra. We also demonstrate
    how spatial and time-reversal symmetry can be exploited to accelerate substantially
    the computation of the four-point quantities. As an illustration, we present spin-wave
    spectra and dispersions for the elementary ferromagnet bcc Fe, B2-type tetragonal
    FeCo, and CrO2 calculated with our scheme. The results are in good agreement with
    available experimental data.

  text: Many-body perturbation theory is a well-established ab initio electronic-structure
    method based on Green functions. Although computationally more demanding than
    density functional theory, it has the distinct advantage that the exact expressions
    for all relevant observables, including the ground-state total energy, in terms
    of the Green function are known explicitly. The most important application, however,
    lies in the calculation of excited states, whose energies correspond directly
    to the poles of the Green function in the complex frequency plane. The accuracy
    of results obtained within this framework is only limited by the choice of the
    exchange-correlation self-energy, which must still be approximated in actual implementations.
    In this respect, the GW approximation has proved highly successful for systems
    governed by the Coulomb interaction. It yields band structures of solids, including
    the band gaps of semiconductors, as well as atomic and molecular ionization energies
    in very good quantitative agreement with experimental photoemission data.

  text: We investigate the band dispersion and related electronic properties of picene
    single crystals within the GW approximation for the electronic self-energy. The
    width of the upper highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMOu) band along the Γ–Y
    direction, corresponding to the b crystal axis in real space along which the molecules
    are stacked, is determined to be 0.60 eV and thus 0.11 eV larger than the value
    obtained from density-functional theory. As in our recent study of rubrene using
    the same methodology [S. Yanagisawa, Y. Morikawa, and A. Schindlmayr, Phys. Rev.
    B 88, 115438 (2013)], this increase in the bandwidth is due to the strong variation
    of the GW self-energy correction across the Brillouin zone, which in turn reflects
    the increasing hybridization of the HOMOu states of neighboring picene molecules
    from Γ to Y. In contrast, the width of the lower HOMO (HOMOl) band along Γ–Y remains
    almost unchanged, consistent with the fact that the HOMOl(Γ) and HOMOl(Y) states
    exhibit the same degree of hybridization, so that the nodal structure of the wave
    functions and the matrix elements of the self-energy correction are very similar.

  text: The frequency-dependent dielectric function and the second-order polarizability
    tensor of ferroelectric LiNbO3 are calculated from first principles. The calculations
    are based on the electronic structure obtained from density-functional theory.
    The subsequent application of the GW approximation to account for quasiparticle
    effects and the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the stoichiometric
    material yield a dielectric function that slightly overestimates the absorption
    onset and the oscillator strength in comparison with experimental measurements.
    Calculations at the level of the independent-particle approximation indicate that
    these deficiencies are, at least, partially related to the neglect of intrinsic
    defects typical for the congruent material. The second-order polarizability calculated
    within the independent-particle approximation predicts strong nonlinear coefficients
    for photon energies above 1.5 eV. The comparison with measured data suggests that
    the inclusion of self-energy effects in the nonlinear optical response leads to
    a better agreement with experiments. The intrinsic defects of congruent samples
    reduce the optical nonlinearities, in particular, for the 21 and 31 tensor components,
    further improving the agreement between experiments and theory.

  text: We investigate the band dispersion and relevant electronic properties of rubrene
    single crystals within the GW approximation. Due to the self-energy correction,
    the dispersion of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) band increases
    by 0.10 eV compared to the dispersion of the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues within the
    generalized gradient approximation, and the effective hole mass consequently decreases.
    The resulting value of 0.90 times the electron rest mass along the Γ-Y direction
    in the Brillouin zone is closer to experimental measurements than that obtained
    from density-functional theory. The enhanced bandwidth is explained in terms of
    the intermolecular hybridization of the HOMO(Y) wave function along the stacking
    direction of the molecules. Overall, our results support the bandlike interpretation
    of charge-carrier transport in rubrene.

  text: The GW approximation for the electronic self-energy is an important tool for
    the quantitative prediction of excited states in solids, but its mathematical
    exploration is hampered by the fact that it must, in general, be evaluated numerically
    even for very simple systems. In this paper I describe a nontrivial model consisting
    of two electrons on the surface of a sphere, interacting with the normal long-range
    Coulomb potential, and show that the GW self-energy, in the absence of self-consistency,
    can in fact be derived completely analytically in this case. The resulting expression
    is subsequently used to analyze the convergence of the energy gap between the
    highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied quasiparticle orbital with respect
    to the total number of states included in the spectral summations. The asymptotic
    formula for the truncation error obtained in this way, whose dominant contribution
    is proportional to the cutoff energy to the power −3/2, may be adapted to extrapolate
    energy gaps in other systems.

  text: 'We present recent advances in numerical implementations of hybrid functionals
    and the GW approximation within the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave
    (FLAPW) method. The former is an approximation for the exchange–correlation contribution
    to the total energy functional in density-functional theory, and the latter is
    an approximation for the electronic self-energy in the framework of many-body
    perturbation theory. All implementations employ the mixed product basis, which
    has evolved into a versatile basis for the products of wave functions, describing
    the incoming and outgoing states of an electron that is scattered by interacting
    with another electron. It can thus be used for representing the nonlocal potential
    in hybrid functionals as well as the screened interaction and related quantities
    in GW calculations. In particular, the six-dimensional space integrals of the
    Hamiltonian exchange matrix elements (and exchange self-energy) decompose into
    sums over vector–matrix–vector products, which can be evaluated easily. The correlation
    part of the GW self-energy, which contains a time or frequency dependence, is
    calculated on the imaginary frequency axis with a subsequent analytic continuation
    to the real axis or, alternatively, by a direct frequency convolution of the Green
    function G and the dynamically screened Coulomb interaction W along a contour
    integration path that avoids the poles of the Green function. Hybrid-functional
    and GW calculations are notoriously computationally expensive. We present a number
    of tricks that reduce the computational cost considerably, including the use of
    spatial and time-reversal symmetries, modifications of the mixed product basis
    with the aim to optimize it for the correlation self-energy and another modification
    that makes the Coulomb matrix sparse, analytic expansions of the interaction potentials
    around the point of divergence at k=0, and a nested density and density-matrix
    convergence scheme for hybrid-functional calculations. We show CPU timings for
    prototype semiconductors and illustrative results for GdN and ZnO. '

  text: We present an implementation of the GW approximation for the electronic self-energy
    within the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method. The
    algorithm uses an all-electron mixed product basis for the representation of response
    matrices and related quantities. This basis is derived from the FLAPW basis and
    is exact for wave-function products. The correlation part of the self-energy is
    calculated on the imaginary-frequency axis with a subsequent analytic continuation
    to the real axis. As an alternative we can perform the frequency convolution of
    the Green function G and the dynamically screened Coulomb interaction W explicitly
    by a contour integration. The singularity of the bare and screened interaction
    potentials gives rise to a numerically important self-energy contribution, which
    we treat analytically to achieve good convergence with respect to the k-point
    sampling. As numerical realizations of the GW approximation typically suffer from
    the high computational expense required for the evaluation of the nonlocal and
    frequency-dependent self-energy, we demonstrate how the algorithm can be made
    very efficient by exploiting spatial and time-reversal symmetry as well as by
    applying an optimization of the mixed product basis that retains only the numerically
    important contributions of the electron-electron interaction. This optimization
    step reduces the basis size without compromising the accuracy and accelerates
    the code considerably. Furthermore, we demonstrate that one can employ an extrapolar
    approximation for high-lying states to reduce the number of empty states that
    must be taken into account explicitly in the construction of the polarization
    function and the self-energy. We show convergence tests, CPU timings, and results
    for prototype semiconductors and insulators as well as ferromagnetic nickel.

  text: Given the vast range of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) applications, the knowledge
    about its electronic and optical properties is surprisingly limited. The direct
    band gap of 3.7 eV for the ferroelectric phase – frequently cited in the literature
    – is concluded from optical experiments. Recent theoretical investigations show
    that the electronic band‐structure and optical properties are very sensitive to
    quasiparticle and electron‐hole attraction effects, which were included using
    the GW approximation for the electron self‐energy and the Bethe‐Salpeter equation
    respectively, both based on a model screening function. The calculated fundamental
    gap was found to be at least 1 eV larger than the experimental value. To resolve
    this discrepancy we performed first‐principles GW calculations for lithium niobate
    using the full‐potential linearized augmented plane‐wave (FLAPW) method. Thereby
    we use the parameter‐free random phase approximation for a realistic description
    of the nonlocal and energydependent screening. This leads to a band gap of about
    4.7 (4.2) eV for ferro(para)‐electric lithium niobate.

  text: "The structural and electronic properties of strained silicon are investigated
    quantitatively with ab initio computational methods. For this purpose we combine
    densityfunctional theory within the local‐density approximation and the GW approximation
    for the electronic self‐energy. From the variation of the total energy as a function
    of applied strain we obtain the elastic constants, Poisson ratios and related
    structural parameters, taking a possible internal relaxation fully into account.
    For biaxial tensile strain in the (001) and (111) planes we then investigate the
    effects on the electronic band structure. These strain configurations occur in
    epitaxial silicon films grown on SiGe templates along different crystallographic
    directions.\r\nThe tetragonal deformation resulting from (001) strain induces
    a valley splitting that removes the sixfold degeneracy of the conduction‐band
    minimum. Furthermore, strain in any direction causes the band structure to warp.
    We present quantitative results for the electron effective mass, derived from
    the curvature of the conduction band, as a function of strain and discuss the
    implications for the mobility of the charge carriers. The inclusion of proper
    self‐energy corrections within the GW approximation in our work not only yields
    band gaps in much better agreement with experimental measurements than the localdensity
    approximation, but also predicts slightly larger electron effective masses."

  text: We describe the software package SPEX, which allows first-principles calculations
    of quasiparticle and collective electronic excitations in solids using techniques
    from many-body perturbation theory. The implementation is based on the full-potential
    linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method, which treats core and valence
    electrons on an equal footing and can be applied to a wide range of materials,
    including transition metals and rare earths. After a discussion of essential features
    that contribute to the high numerical efficiency of the code, we present illustrative
    results for quasiparticle band structures calculated within the GW approximation
    for the electronic self-energy, electron-energy-loss spectra with inter- and intraband
    transitions as well as local-field effects, and spin-wave spectra of itinerant
    ferromagnets. In all cases the inclusion of many-body correlation terms leads
    to very good quantitative agreement with experimental spectroscopies.

  text: We present a computational scheme to study spin excitations in magnetic materials
    from first principles. The central quantity is the transverse spin susceptibility,
    from which the complete excitation spectrum, including single-particle spin-flip
    Stoner excitations and collective spin-wave modes, can be obtained. The susceptibility
    is derived from many-body perturbation theory and includes dynamic correlation
    through a summation over ladder diagrams that describe the coupling of electrons
    and holes with opposite spins. In contrast to earlier studies, we do not use a
    model potential with adjustable parameters for the electron-hole interaction but
    employ the random-phase approximation. To reduce the numerical cost for the calculation
    of the four-point scattering matrix we perform a projection onto maximally localized
    Wannier functions, which allows us to truncate the matrix efficiently by exploiting
    the short spatial range of electronic correlation in the partially filled d or
    f orbitals. Our implementation is based on the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave
    method. Starting from a ground-state calculation within the local-spin-density
    approximation (LSDA), we first analyze the matrix elements of the screened Coulomb
    potential in the Wannier basis for the 3d transition-metal series. In particular,
    we discuss the differences between a constrained nonmagnetic and a proper spin-polarized
    treatment for the ferromagnets Fe, Co, and Ni. The spectrum of single-particle
    and collective spin excitations in fcc Ni is then studied in detail. The calculated
    spin-wave dispersion is in good overall agreement with experimental data and contains
    both an acoustic and an optical branch for intermediate wave vectors along the
    [100] direction. In addition, we find evidence for a similar double-peak structure
    in the spectral function along the [111] direction. To investigate the influence
    of static correlation we finally consider LSDA+U as an alternative starting point
    and show that, together with an improved description of the Fermi surface, it
    yields a more accurate quantitative value for the spin-wave stiffness constant,
    which is overestimated in the LSDA.
