DFT-Gutzwiller Calculations for ferromagnetic bcc Nickel — •Torsten Ohm¹, Stefan Weiser¹, Werner Weber¹, and Jörg Bünemann² — ¹Institut für Physik, Universität Dortmund — ²Fachbereich Physik, Phillips Universität Marburg

Thin films of bcc Nickel can be produced on appropriate substrates and can be studied experimentally; e.g., by photoemission spectroscopy. This has stimulated us to carry out a multi-band Gutzwiller calculation for the quasi-particle energy bands. Our single particle Hamiltonian is based on results of spin-density functional theory ground state calculations using the LAPW-Wien2k code. In the DFT calculations, some problems with the k-mesh integration had to be overcome in order to establish well converged total energy values. The spin-only magnetic moment is found to be about 20 percent smaller than in fcc Nickel. For the multi-band Gutzwiller calculations we use the DFT lattice constant and the same atomic Racah interaction parameters A,B, and C as in our previous calculations for fcc Nickel. The Gutzwiller quasi-particle bands and the Fermi surfaces are compared with the corresponding DFT results.
