Abstract:
We present results of density functional theory (DFT) plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT + DMFT) calculations of the electronic structure of bulk paramagnetic V$_{2}$Se$_{2}$O. We show that local Coulomb correlations in the partially filled V $3d$ shells induce renormalizations of the DFT spectral functions close to the Fermi energy preserving their shape. These transformations are not accompanied by a spectral weight transfer to Hubbard bands, indicating a moderately correlated metallic state of bulk paramagnetic V$_{2}$Se$_{2}$O. The V $3d$ states exhibit a quasiparticle mass enhancement $m^*/m\sim1.34-3.11$ comparable to that in the isostructural compound V$_{2}$Te$_{2}$O. We demonstrate that orbital selectivity of correlation effects in V$_{2}$Se$_{2}$O is less pronounced compared to V$_{2}$Te$_{2}$O as can be traced from the weaker differentiation of $m^*/m$ and local spin correlation functions for different V $3d$ orbitals. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the self-energy allows us to speculate on possible deviations from the Fermi-liquid behavior of V$_{2}$Se$_{2}$O.
