The light, SP (or SPD) electrons are extended, well described by LDA .The heavy, D (or F) electrons are localized treat by DMFT.
LDA Kohn Sham Hamiltonian already contains an average interaction of the heavy electrons, substract this out by shifting the heavy level (double counting term)
The U matrix can be estimated from first principles of viewed as parameters. Solve resulting model using DMFT.

Qualitative Ideas.
B. Johansson, Philos. Mag. 30, 469 (1974). Mott transition of the f electrons as a function of pressure. Ce alpha gamma transition. spd electrons are spectators.
Mathematical implementation, “metallic phase” treat spdf electrons by LDA, “insulating phase” put f electron in the core.
J.W. Allen and R.M. Martin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1106 (1982); Kondo volume collapse picture. The dominant effect is the spd-f hybridization.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY
RUTGERS
Qualitative Ideas
alpha phase Kondo effect between spd and f takes place. “insulating phase” no Kondo effect (low Kondo temperature).
Mathematical implementation, Anderson impurity model in the suplemented with elastic terms. (precursor of realistic DMFT ideas, but without self consistency condition). J.W. Allen and L.Z. Liu, Phys. Rev. B 46, 5047 (1992).

To resolve the conflict between the Mott transition and the volume collapse picture : Turn to Optics! Haule et.al.
Qualitative idea. The spd electrons have much larger velocities, so optics will be much more senstive to their behavior.
See if they are simple spectators (Mott transition picture ) or wether a Kondo binding unbinding takes pace (Kondo collapse picture).
General method, bulk probe.

Conclusion: Cerium
Qualitatively good agreement with existing experiment.
Some quantitative disagreement, see however .
Experiments should study the temperature dependence of the optics.
Optics + Theory can provide a simple resolution of the Mott vs K-Collapse conundrum.

Delta phase of Plutonium: Problems with LDA
o Many studies and implementations.(Freeman, Koelling 1972)APW methods, ASA and FP-LMTO Soderlind et. Al 1990, Kollar et.al 1997, Boettger et.al 1998, Wills et.al. 1999).all give an equilibrium an equilibrium volume of the volume of the phasephaseIs 35% lower than Is 35% lower than experiment experiment this is the largest discrepancy ever known in DFT based calculations.
LSDA predicts magnetic long range (Solovyev et.al.) Experimentally Pu is not magnetic.
If one treats the f electrons as part of the core LDA overestimates the volume by 30%

DFT Studies of Pu DFT in GGA predicts correctly the volume of the phase of Pu, when full potential LMTO (Soderlind Eriksson and Wills) is used. This is usually taken as an indication that Pu is a weakly correlated system
The shear moduli in the delta phase were calculated within LDA and GGA by Bouchet et. al. (2000) and c’ is negative!

The delta –epsilon transition
The high temperature phase, (epsilon) is body centered cubic, and has a smaller volume than the (fcc) delta phase.
What drives this phase transition?
Having a functional, that computes total energies opens the way to the computation of phonon frequencies in correlated materials (S. Savrasov and G. Kotliar 2002)

Epsilon Plutonium.

Phonon entropy drives the epsilon delta phase transition
Epsilon is slightly more delocalized than delta, has SMALLER volume and lies at HIGHER energy than delta at T=0. But it has a much larger phonon entropy than delta.
At the phase transition the volume shrinks but the phonon entropy increases.
Estimates of the phase transition following Drumont and Ackland et. al. PRB.65, 184104 (2002); (and neglecting electronic entropy). TC ~ 600 K.

Why is optics calculation not completely trivial?
Analytic tetrahedron method:
Integral is analytic and simple
(combination of logarithms)
Energies linearly interpolated no simple analytic expression
Product of two energies linearly interpolated ATM applicable
but numerically very unstable because of quadratic pole
1D example: Parabola has 2 zeros (2poles)
Line has no zeros (no poles)
