A first-principles approach to modelling magnetism in strongly-correlated electron systems

We present an ab initio theoretical formalism for investigating the onset of magnetic order in strongly-correlated electron systems. The formalism is based on spin density functional theory, with a self-interaction corrected local density approximation (SIC-LDA). The self-interaction correction is i...
