Valence band-satellite, temperature dependent magnetic and spectral study of α-Fe
Abstract
We investigate the influence of correlations and plasmonic excitation on valence band-satellite of α-Fe, along with magnetic and spectral properties as function of temperature. Coulomb interaction parameters are obtained by systematically employing various schemes in constrained random phase approximation (cRPA). This study identifies the presence of valence band satellite in Fe at 6 eV binding energy supported by (i) substantial incoherent spectral weight in the valence band spectra obtained from Density Functional Theory plus Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DFT+DMFT) and (ii) plasmonic excitations in the frequency range 6-8 eV suggested by G0W0 calculations. We note presence of significant contribution of temperature-dependent Pauli-spin susceptibility indicating competing degree of itinerancy. eg state shows a strong temperature driven non-Fermi-liquid behavior emerging near Tc. Our results reveal a high-temperature orbital-selective loss of coherence eventually leads to a orbital selective collapse of magnetization at Tc, suggesting a ferromagnetic phase characterized by strong correlation- and temperature- dependent spectral features.
