Abstract
In this Letter we report the LDA+DMFT (method combining local density approximation
with
dynamical mean-field theory) results for spectral properties of the superconductor
NdFeAsO0.9F0.1 in the paramagnetic phase. The calculated momentum-resolved spectral
functions are in good agreement with angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES).
The
obtained effective quasiparticle mass enhancement (m*/m=1.4) is smaller than the
one
in isostructural parent compound LaFeAsO which critical temperature under the same
fluorine
doping (LaFeAsO0.9F0.1) is two times lower. Our results demonstrate that in
quaternary FeAs-based superconductors of the same class, changes of the crystal
structure
caused by substitution of one rare-earth atom, implicitly result in reduction of the electronic
correlation strength.
