Abstract

We report some recent developments in theoretical modeling of real 3d magnetic materials, particularly interface and ultrathin-film structures. We focus on many-body correlation effects and describe the method of modeling realistic strongly correlated electron systems using and going beyond die local-density-approximation single-particle electronic structures. Group-theoretical techniques and high-performance computing facilities are systematically used in this work. Fundamental spectroscopic properties of several prototypical 3d transition-metal systems have been obtained and new features induced by many-body correlation have been discovered. Results will be presented and discussed.
