题目：Towards first-principles approaches for strongly correlated materials
摘要：First-principles modeling of strongly correlated d- and f- systems is currently one of the greatest challenges in theoretical chemistry and condensed matter physics due to the difficulty of treating itinerant (delocalized) and localized states in the same theoretical framework. Density-functional theory (DFT) in the local-density approximation or generalized gradient approxima-tion (LDA/GGA) is well known to be problematic for strongly correlated systems due to severe self-interaction (delocalization) errors and static correlation errors. The simplest extension that can overcome the major failure of LDA/GGA is to introduce a local Hubbard like correction (DFT+U), which, however, suffers from various conceptual and practical problems. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts to develop first-principles approaches for strongly correlated systems.
