If the configuration interaction approaches (CI) or Coupled Clusters techniques cite{FuldeBook} are applicable for molecules, their generalization for solids is difficult. For materials with a kinetic energy greater than the Coulomb interaction, calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT), associated with the local density approximation (LDA) cite{Hohenberg64, Kohn65} give satisfying qualitative and quantitative results to describe ground state properties. These solids have weakly correlated electrons presenting extended states, like $sp$ materials or covalent solids. The application of this approximation to systems where the wave functions are more localized ($d$ or $f$-states) as transition metals oxides, heavy fermions, rare earths or actinides is more questionable and can even lead to unphysical results : for example, insulating FeO and CoO are predicted to be metalic by the DFT-LDA... | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0509321 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
