Applications of DFT + DMFT in Materials Science
2019
First-principles methods can provide insight into materials that is otherwise impossible to acquire. Density functional theory (DFT) has been the first-principles method of choice for numerous applications, but it falls short of predicting the properties of correlated materials. First-principles DFT + dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) is a powerful tool that can address these shortcomings of DFT when applied to correlated metals. In this brief review, which is aimed at nonexperts, we review the basics and some applications of DFT + DMFT. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Materials Research Volume 49 is July 1, 2019. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
