| contents | We present a comprehensive investigation of the electrical and thermal conductivity of iron under high pressures at ambient temperature, employing the real-time formulation of time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT). Specifically, we examine the influence of a Hubbard correction (+\textit{U}) to account for strong electron correlations. Our calculations based on RT-TDDFT demonstrate that the evaluated electrical conductivity for both high-pressure body-centered cubic (BCC) and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) iron phases agrees well with experimental data. Furthermore, we explore the anisotropy in the thermal conductivity of HCP iron under high pressure, and our findings are consistent with experimental observations. Interestingly, we find that the incorporation of the +\textit{U} correction significantly impacts the ground state and linear response properties of iron at pressures below 50 GPa, with its influence diminishing as pressure increases. This study offers valuable insights into the influence of electronic correlations on the electronic transport properties of iron under extreme conditions. |
