Strongly Correlated Electrons Two limits of the electronic structure problem are well
under control. Band limit, (LDA or GGA)+ GW, gives good spectra and
total energy. Physical properties are accessible in perturbation theory in the screened Coulomb interactions
Well separated atoms, in the presence of spin orbital long range order, expansion around the atomic limit, unrestricted HF, and LDA+U work well for ordered Mott insulators.
Challenge ahead: materials that are not in either one of these regimes. Requires combination of many body theory and one electron theory.

Strongly correlated systems are usually treated with model Hamiltonians
Conceptually one wants to restrict the number of degrees of freedom by eliminating high energy degrees of freedom.
In practice other methods (eg constrained LDA are used)

Dynamical Mean Field Theory Reduce the quantum many body problem to a
one site or a cluster of sites, in a medium of non interacting electrons obeying a self consistency condition.
Instead of using functionals of the density, use more sensitive functionals of the one electron spectral function. [density of states for adding or removing particles in a solid, measured in photoemission]

Identify observable, A. Construct an exact functional of <A>=a, [a] which is stationary at the physical value of a.
Example, density in DFT theory. (Fukuda et. al.) When a is local, it gives an exact mapping onto a local problem,
defines a Weiss field. The method is useful when practical and accurate approximations to
the exact functional exist. Example: LDA, GGA, in DFT.
DMFT, build functionals of the LOCAL spectral function. Exact functionals exist. We also have good approximations! Extension to an ab initio method. Functional of greens function of
electric field and electronic field, functional of the density and the local greens function.

LDA+DMFT (I) The light, SP (or SPD) electrons are extended,
well described by LDA. The heavy, D (or F) electrons are localized,treat by DMFT.
LDA already contains an average interaction of the heavy electrons, substract this out by shifting the heavy level (double counting term) . This defines H. The U matrix can be estimated from first principles (Gunnarson and Anisimov, McMahan et.al. Hybertsen et.al) of viewed as parameters.

Ti2O3 vs V2O3
As a function of temperature, there is no magnetic transition in Ti2O3, unlike V2O3
As a function of temperature, there is no structural change, unlike V2O3 which becomes monoclinic at low temperatures.
In V2O3 the distance between the Vanadium pairs incrases as the temperature decreases. In Ti2O3 the distance between the Vanadium pairs decreases as one lowers the temperature.

LSDA predicts magnetic long range (Solovyev et.al.)
Experimentally Pu is not magnetic. If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA
overestimates the volume by 30% DFT in GGA predicts correctly the volume of the
phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills) is used. This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system

Phonon Spectra
Electrons are the glue that hold the atoms together. Vibration spectra (phonons) probe the electronic structure.
Phonon spectra reveals instablities, via soft modes.
Phonon spectrum of Pu had not been measured. Short distance behavior of the elastic moduli.

The delta –epsilon transition
The high temperature phase, (epsilon) is body centered cubic, and has a smaller volume than the (fcc) delta phase.
What drives this phase transition?
Having a functional, that computes total energies opens the way to the computation of phonon frequencies in correlated materials (S. Savrasov and G. Kotliar 2002)

Phonon entropy drives the epsilon delta phase transition
Epsilon is slightly more delocalized than delta, has SMALLER volume and lies at HIGHER energy than delta at T=0. But it has a much larger phonon entropy than delta.
At the phase transition the volume shrinks but the phonon entropy increases.
Estimates of the phase transition following Drumont and Ackland et. al. PRB.65, 184104 (2002); (and neglecting electronic entropy). TC ~ 600 K.

Conclusion
Develop new methods for treating realistic (system specific) strongly correlated electrons.
The DMFT machinery is in a very primitive state.
Study interesting materials science problems, develop some qualitative understanding of materials properties. Perform quantitative calculations.
DMFT- in its current state of the art, allows us to do both.

Comments on LDA+DMFT• Static limit of the LDA+DMFT functional , with
= HF reduces to LDA+U• Gives the local spectra and the total energy
simultaneously, treating QP and H bands on the same footing.
• Luttinger theorem is obeyed.• Functional formulation is essential for
computations of total energies, opens the way to phonon calculations.

Dynamical Mean Field Theory Basic idea: reduce the quantum many body
problem to a one site or a cluster of sites, in a medium of non interacting electrons obeying a self consistency condition.
Basic idea: instead of using functionals of the density, use more sensitive functionals of the one electron spectral function. [density of states for adding or removing particles in a solid, measured in photoemission]
