TLDR
In this article, a combined density functional theory in its local density approximation (LDA) and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) was proposed to deal with strongly correlated model Hamiltonians.Abstract:
The calculation of the electronic properties of materials is an important task of solid-state theory, albeit particularly difficult if electronic correlations are strong, e.g., in transition metals, their oxides and in f-electron systems. The standard approach to material calculations, the density functional theory in its local density approximation (LDA), incorporates electronic correlations only very rudimentarily and fails if the correlations are strong. Encouraged by the success of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) in dealing with strongly correlated model Hamiltonians, physicists from the bandstructure and the many-body communities have joined forces and developed a combined LDA + DMFT method recently. Depending on the strength of electronic correlations, this new approach yields a weakly correlated metal as in the LDA, a strongly correlated metal or a Mott insulator. This approach is widely regarded as a breakthrough for electronic structure calculations of strongly correlated materials. We review ...read more

Strong Correlations from Hund’s Coupling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical understanding and physical properties of these Hund's metals, together with the relevance of this concept to transition-metal oxides (TMOs) of the 3D, and especially 4d, series (such as ruthenates), as well as to the iron-based superconductors (iron pnictides and chalcogenides).
