Abstract
The problem of the correlation energy in solids is discussed via three principal approaches:
-
(i)
Density functional theory. Here the main basis is the many-body study of interacting electrons in jellium.
-
(ii)
Strong correlation in narrow energy bands. The transition metals afford the main area of interest here. The work of Gutzwiller is given some prominence.
-
(iii)
Bond localization of electrons. While this approach is difficult to make quantitative, it is, it appears, a powerful way of simulating electron correlation effects.
