Abstract

Using a combined local density functional theory (DFT-LDA) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) dynamic cluster approximation approach, the parameter dependence of the superconducting transition temperature Tc of several single-layer hole-doped cuprate superconductors with experimentally very different Tc max is investigated. The parameters of two different three-band Hubbard models are obtained using the LDA and the downfolding Nth-order muffin-tin orbital technique with N=0 and 1, respectively. QMC calculations on four-site clusters show that the d-wave transition temperature Tc depends sensitively on the parameters. While the N=1 MTO basis set which reproduces all three pdσ bands leads to a d-wave transition, the N=0 set which merely reproduces the LDA Fermi surface and velocities does not.
