Computing the Hall conductivity of strained Sr2RuO4*

Transport is an important probe of quantum materials. Recent experiments revealed an intriguing dependence of the Hall conductivity of Sr2RuO4 on uniaxial strain [1]. Using a simple tight-binding model, the behavior of the Hall number under strain was related to that of the scattering rates [1]. Here, we compare these predictions to a many-body calculation using density functional theory, dynamical-mean-field theory, and the numerical renormalization group, similarly as in Ref. [2]. We also discuss how, generally, the Hall conductivity can be computed in correlated multiband systems.
