Electronic Structure Calculations with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory – Sergej Savrasov
Date: Mon. September 23rd, 2002, 12:30 pm-1:30 pmLocation: Rockefeller 221
An effort to build a new electronic structure method based on many-body dynamical mean-field theory as an alternative to density functional theory will be reviewed. Several applications of this method to study total energies and photoemission spectra in various phases of plutonium, phonons in Mott Insulators, as well as optical spectra in doped titanites will be discussed.
