Strong Coulomb Correlations in Electronic Structure Calculations: Beyond the Local Density Approximation (Advances in Condensed Matter Science)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Materials where electrons show nearly localized rather than itinerant behavior, such as the high-temperature superconducting copper oxides, or manganate oxides, are attracting tremendous interest due to their interesting physical properties and potential applications. For these materials, the interaction between electrons, or electron correlation, plays an important role in describing their electronic structure, and the standard methods for the calculation of their electronic spectra based on the local density approximation (LDA) breakdown. This book is the first attempt to describe recent approaches that go beyond the concept of the LDA, to successfully describe the electronic structure of narrow-band materials. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods of LDA+U, the GW approximation, the local spin density approximation, the self-interaction correction approximation, and the optimized effective potential method, and is an invaluable source for graduate students and researcher
