The homogeneous electron gas (HEG) is a key ingredient in the construction of most exchange-correlation functionals of density-functional theory. Often, the energy of the HEG is parameterized as a function of its spin density $n$, leading…
First-principles calculations within the Local Density Approximation (LDA) or Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), though very successful, are known to underestimate redox potentials, such as those at which lithium intercalates in…
The ground--state magnetic phase diagram is investigated for the two-- and three--dimensional $t$--$t'$ Hubbard model. We take into account commensurate ferro--, antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate (spiral) magnetic phases, as well as…
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 for new high-T$_c$ iron oxypnictides. Coulomb repulsion $U$…
Accessing the physics of strongly coupled metals in a controlled way is a challenging problem in theoretical condensed matter physics. In this paper, we revisit the possibility of understanding strongly coupled metals through a holographic…
RuO$_2$ has been regarded as a prototypical candidate for metallic altermagnet, offering a potential platform for high-speed and high-efficiency spintronics. However, the magnetic ground state of RuO$_2$ remains a topic of active debate due…
This PhD thesis conducts a focused study of strongly correlated materials with localized electron orbitals. We have studied two real materials (LuNiO$_3$ and VO$_2$) and one model system, i.e., the Anderson impurity model. The thesis is…
This paper investigates the effect of disorder on a ferromagnetic metal with repulsive interactions. We assume that, in the clean limit, the ferromagnetic state can be described by Stoner mean-field theory and study how disorder affects the…
We have calculated the optical spectra of Na$_{x}$CoO$_2$ for $x$=0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 within the LDA. We compare our results to available experimental data and show that the important features and trends are reproduced well, but there is a…
A novel hybrid scheme is proposed. The {\it ab initio} LDA calculation is used to construct the Wannier functions and obtain single electron and Coulomb parameters of the multiband Hubbard-type model. In strong correlation regime the…
We use first-principles calculations to study the effect of magnetic disorder and electron correlations on the structural and thermodynamic properties of CrN. We illustrate the usability of a special quasirandom structure supercell…
It is believed that the density functional theory (DFT) describes most elements with s, p and d orbitals very well, except some materials that having strongly localized and correlated valence electrons. In this work, we find that the widely…
Single particle states in a chain with quasiperiodic potential show a metal-insulator transition upon the change of the potential strength. We consider two particles with local interaction in the single particle insulating regime. The two…
In contrast to the original Kohn-Sham (KS) formalism, we propose a density functional theory (DFT) with fractional orbital occupations for the study of ground states of many-electron systems, wherein strong static correlation is shown to be…
Typical density-functional theory calculations that wrongly predict undoped cuprates to be metallic also predict Cu-O half- and full-breathing phonon energies that are significantly softer than observed, presumably because of weak on-site…
The existence of high-temperature ferromagnetism in thin films and nanoparticles of oxides containing small quantities of magnetic dopants remains controversial. Some regard these materials as dilute magnetic semiconductors, while others…
The stability mechanism of cuboctahedral clusters in nonstoichiometric uranium dioxide is investigated by first-principles LSDA+U method. Calculations reveal that the structural stability is inherited from U6O12 molecular cluster whereas…
Both the basic electronic structure of tetraborides, and the changes across the lanthanide series in $R$B$_4$ ($R$ = rare earth) compounds, are studied using the correlated band theory LDA+U method in the all-electron Full Potential Local…
The extrapolation of small-cluster exact-diagonalization calculations is used to examine ferromagnetism in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with long-range and correlated hopping. It is found that the correlated hopping term stabilizes the…
We report on optically induced, ultrafast magnetization dynamics in the Heusler alloy $\mathrm{Co_{2}FeAl}$, probed by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. Experimental results are compared to results from electronic structure theory…
