Strongly Correlated Materials: Insights from Dynamical MeanField Theory

Abstract

Materials with correlated electrons exhibit some of the The theoretical challenge most intriguing phenomena in condensed matter physics. To understand materials made up of A new theoretical framework is now allowing theorists to weakly correlated electrons—silicon or aluminum, for example—band the- calculate the electronic structure of these materials, which ory, which imagines electrons behav- can exist in a rich variety of phases.
