Show affiliationsThe LDA+DMFT (local density approximation combined with dynamical mean-field theory) computation scheme has been used to calculate spectral properties of LaFeAsO—the parent compound of the new high-Tc iron oxypnictides. The average Coulomb repulsion 
and Hund's exchange J parameters for iron 3d electrons were calculated using the first-principles constrained density functional theory scheme in the Wannier functions formalism. Resulting values strongly depend on the number of states taken into account in the calculations: when the full set of O-2p, As-4p and Fe-3d orbitals and the corresponding bands are included, the interaction parameters 
eV and J = 0.8 eV are obtained. In contrast, when the basis set is restricted to the Fe-3d orbitals and bands only, the calculation gives much smaller values of 
eV, J = 0.5 eV. Nevertheless, DMFT calculations with both parameter sets and the corresponding basis sets result in a weakly correlated electronic structure that is in agreement with the experimental x-ray and photoemission spectra.
