.. _SrVO3:
SrVO3 (single-shot)
===================
We will discuss now how to set up a full working calculation,
including the initialization of the :ref:`CTHYB solver <triqscthyb:welcome>`.
Some additional parameter are introduced to make the calculation
more efficient. This is a more advanced example, which is
also suited for parallel execution. The conversion, which
we assume to be carried out already, is discussed :ref:`here <conversion>`.
For the convenience of the user, we provide also two
working python scripts in this documentation. One for a calculation
using Kanamori definitions (:download:`dft_dmft_cthyb.py
<images_scripts/dft_dmft_cthyb.py>`) and one with a
rotational-invariant Slater interaction Hamiltonian (:download:`dft_dmft_cthyb_slater.py
<images_scripts/dft_dmft_cthyb.py>`). The user has to adapt these
scripts to his own needs.
Loading modules
---------------
First, we load the necessary modules::
from pytriqs.applications.dft.sumk_dft import *
from pytriqs.gf.local import *
from pytriqs.archive import HDFArchive
from pytriqs.operators.util import *
from pytriqs.applications.impurity_solvers.cthyb import *
The last two lines load the modules for the construction of the
:ref:`CTHYB solver <triqscthyb:welcome>`.
Initializing SumkDFT
--------------------
We define some parameters, which should be self-explanatory::
dft_filename = 'SrVO3' # filename
U = 4.0 # interaction parameters
J = 0.65
beta = 40 # inverse temperature
loops = 15 # number of DMFT loops
mix = 0.8 # mixing factor of Sigma after solution of the AIM
dc_type = 1 # DC type: 0 FLL, 1 Held, 2 AMF
use_blocks = True # use bloc structure from DFT input
prec_mu = 0.0001 # precision of chemical potential
And next, we can initialize the :class:`SumkDFT <dft.sumk_dft.SumkDFT>` class::
SK = SumkDFT(hdf_file=dft_filename+'.h5',use_dft_blocks=use_blocks)
Initializing the solver
-----------------------
We also have to specify the :ref:`CTHYB solver <triqscthyb:welcome>` related settings. The
minimal parameters for a SrVO3 DMFT calculation on 16 cores are::
p = {}
# solver
p["random_seed"] = 123 * mpi.rank + 567
p["length_cycle"] = 200
p["n_warmup_cycles"] = 50000
p["n_cycles"] = 500000
# tail fit
p["perform_tail_fit"] = True
p["fit_max_moment"] = 4
p["fit_min_n"] = 60
p["fit_max_n"] = 140
Here we use a tail fit to deal with numerical noise of higher Matsubara frequencies.
For other options and more details on the solver parameters, we refer the user to
the :ref:`CTHYB solver <triqscthyb:welcome>` documentation.
It is important to note that the solver parameters have to be adjusted for
each material individually. A guide on how to set the tail fit parameters is given
:ref:`below <tailfit>`.
The next step is to initialize the
:class:`solver class <pytriqs.applications.impurity_solvers.cthyb.Solver>`.
It consist of two parts:
#. Calculating the multi-band interaction matrix, and constructing the
interaction Hamiltonian.
#. Initializing the solver class itself.
The first step is done using methods of the :ref:`TRIQS <triqslibs:welcome>` library::
n_orb = SK.corr_shells[0]['dim']
l = SK.corr_shells[0]['l']
spin_names = ["up","down"]
orb_names = [i for i in range(n_orb)]
# Use GF structure determined by DFT blocks:
gf_struct = SK.gf_struct_solver[0]
# Construct U matrix for density-density calculations:
Umat, Upmat = U_matrix_kanamori(n_orb=n_orb, U_int=U, J_hund=J)
We assumed here that we want to use an interaction matrix with
Kanamori definitions of :math:`U` and :math:`J`.
Next, we construct the Hamiltonian and the solver::
h_int = h_int_density(spin_names, orb_names, map_operator_structure=SK.sumk_to_solver[0], U=Umat, Uprime=Upmat)
S = Solver(beta=beta, gf_struct=gf_struct)
As you see, we take only density-density interactions into
account. Other Hamiltonians with, e.g. with full rotational invariant interactions are:
* h_int_kanamori
* h_int_slater
For other choices of the interaction matrices (e.g Slater representation) or
Hamiltonians, we refer to the reference manual of the :ref:`TRIQS <triqslibs:welcome>`
library.
DMFT cycle
----------
Now we can go to the definition of the self-consistency step. It consists again
of the basic steps discussed in the :ref:`previous section <singleshot>`, with
some additional refinements::
for iteration_number in range(1,loops+1):
if mpi.is_master_node(): print "Iteration = ", iteration_number
SK.symm_deg_gf(S.Sigma_iw,orb=0) # symmetrizing Sigma
SK.set_Sigma([ S.Sigma_iw ]) # put Sigma into the SumK class
chemical_potential = SK.calc_mu( precision = prec_mu ) # find the chemical potential for given density
S.G_iw << SK.extract_G_loc()[0] # calc the local Green function
mpi.report("Total charge of Gloc : %.6f"%S.G_iw.total_density())
# Init the DC term and the real part of Sigma, if no previous runs found:
if (iteration_number==1 and previous_present==False):
dm = S.G_iw.density()
SK.calc_dc(dm, U_interact = U, J_hund = J, orb = 0, use_dc_formula = dc_type)
S.Sigma_iw << SK.dc_imp[0]['up'][0,0]
# Calculate new G0_iw to input into the solver:
S.G0_iw << S.Sigma_iw + inverse(S.G_iw)
S.G0_iw << inverse(S.G0_iw)
# Solve the impurity problem:
S.solve(h_int=h_int, **p)
# Solved. Now do post-solution stuff:
mpi.report("Total charge of impurity problem : %.6f"%S.G_iw.total_density())
# Now mix Sigma and G with factor mix, if wanted:
if (iteration_number>1 or previous_present):
if mpi.is_master_node():
ar = HDFArchive(dft_filename+'.h5','a')
mpi.report("Mixing Sigma and G with factor %s"%mix)
S.Sigma_iw << mix * S.Sigma_iw + (1.0-mix) * ar['dmft_output']['Sigma_iw']
S.G_iw << mix * S.G_iw + (1.0-mix) * ar['dmft_output']['G_iw']
del ar
S.G_iw << mpi.bcast(S.G_iw)
S.Sigma_iw << mpi.bcast(S.Sigma_iw)
# Write the final Sigma and G to the hdf5 archive:
if mpi.is_master_node():
ar = HDFArchive(dft_filename+'.h5','a')
ar['dmft_output']['iterations'] = iteration_number
ar['dmft_output']['G_0'] = S.G0_iw
ar['dmft_output']['G_tau'] = S.G_tau
ar['dmft_output']['G_iw'] = S.G_iw
ar['dmft_output']['Sigma_iw'] = S.Sigma_iw
del ar
# Set the new double counting:
dm = S.G_iw.density() # compute the density matrix of the impurity problem
SK.calc_dc(dm, U_interact = U, J_hund = J, orb = 0, use_dc_formula = dc_type)
# Save stuff into the user_data group of hdf5 archive in case of rerun:
SK.save(['chemical_potential','dc_imp','dc_energ'])
This is all we need for the DFT+DMFT calculation.
You can see in this code snippet, that all results of this calculation
will be stored in a separate subgroup in the hdf5 file, called `dmft_output`.
Note that this script performs 15 DMFT cycles, but does not check for
convergence. Of course, it is possible to build in convergence criterias.
A simple check for convergence can be also done if you store multiple quantities
of each iteration and analyze the convergence by hand. In general, it is advisable
to start with a lower statistics (less measurements), but then increase it at a
point close to converged results (e.g. after a few initial iterations). This helps
to keep computational costs low during the first iterations.
.. _tailfit:
Tail fit paramters
------------------
A good way to identify suitable tail fit parameters is by "human inspection".
Therefore disabled the tail fitting first::
p["perform_tail_fit"] = False
and perform only one DMFT iteration. The resulting self energy can be tail fitted by hand::
for name, sig in S.Sigma_iw:
S.Sigma_iw[name].fit_tail(fit_n_moments = 4, fit_min_n = 60, fit_max_n = 140)
Plot the self energy and adjust the tail fit parameters such that you obtain a
proper fit. The :meth:`fit_tail function <pytriqs.gf.local.tools.tail_fit>` is part
of the :ref:`TRIQS <triqslibs:welcome>` library.
For a self energy which is going to zero for :math:`i\omega \rightarrow 0` our suggestion is
to start the tail fit (:emphasis:`fit_min_n`) at a Matsubara frequency considerable above the minimum
of the self energy and to stop (:emphasis:`fit_max_n`) before the noise fully takes over.
If it is difficult to find a reasonable fit in this region you should increase
your statistics (number of measurements). Keep in mind that :emphasis:`fit_min_n`
and :emphasis:`fit_max_n` also depend on :math:`\beta`.
