Abstract

A central problem in one-electron band calculations is the proper inclusion of exchange and correlations. We have performed a first-principles calculation by utilizing the Green's-function method with an energy-dependent nonlocal self-energy operator obtained by replacing the Coulomb potential in the exchange operator by a dynamically screened interaction. Diamond was chosen as a prototype of covalent materials. To be consistent with a variety of experimental facts, we have taken the dielectric matrix of the medium within the time-dependent screened Hartree-Fock approximation, thereby including both local-field and electron-hole (excitonic) effects. Previous calculations along similar lines have been restricted either to a random-phase-approximation frequency-independent dielectric function or to a plasmon-pole approximation. We have investigated for the first time the role of a realistic frequency and wave-vector-dependent dielectric matrix, and examined the relative importance of the electron-hole excitations and of the plasma resonance across the range of the valence and conduction bands. The correlated band structure was calculated by diagonalizing the quasiparticle equation of motion in a local orbital basis in order to exploit the local character of both the self-energy operator and the orbitals spanning these bands. We have found that the plasma resonance does not contribute appreciably in the energy range about the band gap while it contributes significantly to the valence bandwidth. Our values of 7.4 eV (band gap) and 25.2 eV (valence band-width) are in good agreement with reflectivity and photoemission experiments. Implications for the local-density and the energy-independent Coulomb-hole plus screened-exchange approximations are discussed. In addition, our method, by utilizing an energy-dependent self-energy, has also enabled us to calculate quasiparticle damping times (specifically, intraband Auger decay rates) that are consistent with photoemission spectra.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
