Optical and x-ray absorption spectra of MgO from first-principles including many-body effects — •Vijaya Begum, Markus E Gruner, and Rossitza Pentcheva — Faculty of Physics and Centre for Nanointegration (CENIDE), University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany

We discuss the optical and x-ray absorption (XAS) spectra of MgO − a wide band gap oxide with versatile applications − in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) including many-body and excitonic corrections. The quasi-particle band gap improves over DFT with PBEsol as the starting exchange-correlation functional (4.58 → 7.52 eV) and is overcorrected with the hybrid functional HSE06 (6.58 → 8.53 eV) when compared to experiment (7.7 eV). Including excitonic effects by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) leads to excellent agreement with the experimental spectrum both for the real and imaginary part of the dielectric function, when starting with the HSE06 functional. Furthermore, the x-ray absorption spectra of the O and Mg K-edge calculated with the Exciting code exhibit good agreement with experiment regarding the positions of the prominent peaks, underlining the importance of including the core-hole and electron interactions within the G0W0+BSE. Projection of the electron-hole coupling coefficients from the BSE eigenvectors on the band structure allows to explore the origin of the peaks and identify the orbital character of the relevant contributions.
