Already Haldane has shown in a seminal paper that the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity can be expressed as an integral over the Fermi surface as expected for a Fermi liquid property [1].
The anomalous Hall conductivity can be expressed either by a volume integral of the occupied states in the Brillouin zone or a Fermi surface integral with a thorough treatment of the Brillouin zone boundaries. We implemented both methods and applied them to a tight-binding Hamiltonian including exchange splitting and spin-orbit coupling.
Our investigations show that both results agree well. Details of the integration procedure have to be optimized to obtain a satisfying agreement for cases where avoided band crossings occur close to the Fermi level. The surface integration replaces the time consuming volume integration over the Fermi sea [2]. The method is applicable to advanced ab initio electronic structure schemes which provide besides the band energies also the Berry curvature.
