Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The first-principles momentum dependent local ansatz theory has been constructed by combining the momentum dependent local ansatz theory with the first-principles tight-binding LDA+U Hamiltonian. Theory has been applied to the iron-group transition metals from Sc to Cu. It is found that (1) the overestimate of the magnetic energy in the band theory originates in the lack of the Hund energy gain in the paramagnetic state, (2) enhancement of the amplitude of local moments is quantitatively explained by the Hund energy coupling, (3) momentum distribution functions are strongly deviated from the Fermi-Dirac function due to electron correlations in the rate transition metals, and (4) associated mass enhancement factors explain the experimental data of the low temperature specific heats. The theory provides us with a base to construct the first-principles self-consistent projection operator method for nonlocal excitations.
