【 摘 要 】

We study how the k dependence in the self-energy affects the quasiparticle band structure and one-particle spectral functions. It is known that, in electron-gas-like materials, the self-energy depends significantly on k and there is a strong cancellation between the k dependence and the energy dependence of the self-energy. Analysis of the GW self-energy reveals that, even in correlated materials with narrow bands, such as SrVO3, the self-energy significantly depends on k. When the nonlocal effect is neglected, the quasiparticle band structure is over-renormalized, yielding too large mass enhancement compared to the case of k-dependent self-energy. The present result suggests that partial cancellation between the frequency dependence and the k dependence in the self-energy is important when discussing the quasiparticle band structure of correlated materials.
