摘要
We present LSDA + U calculations of the magnon frequencies of transition-metal monoxides (TMOs) using the frozen magnon approach. We systematically vary U to investigate the effect of the on-site Coulomb repulsion on various properties such as the gap, the magnetic moment, and the magnon energies. For all TMOs, a similar behavior of the gap and moment with respect to U is found: the gaps start to increase linear and saturate for large U. The moment is enhanced by approximate to 0.4 mu(B) towards the pure spin limit. Magnon energies are strongly suppressed on increasing the on-site Coulomb repulsion. The reason for this behavior is related to charge localization.
