Abstract

In this paper we report LDA+DMFT results (method combining local-density approximation with dynamical mean-field theory) for spectral properties of superconductor LaFePO. Calculated k-resolved spectral functions reproduce recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data [D. H. Lu et al., Nature (London) 455, 81 (2008)]. Obtained effective electron mass enhancement values m∗/m≈1.9−2.2 are in good agreement with infrared and optical studies [M. M. Qazilbash et al., Nat. Phys. 5, 647 (2009)], de Haas–van Alphen, electrical resistivity, and electronic specific-heat measurements results that unambiguously evidence for moderate correlations strength in LaFePO. Similar values of m∗/m were found in the other Fe-based superconductors with substantially different superconducting transition temperatures. Thus, the dynamical correlation effects are essential in the Fe-based superconductors, but the strength of electronic correlations does not determine the value of superconducting transition temperature.
