Description

In the present work, we study the electron correlation effects in the electronic structure and spectra of Pu-Am, Pu-Ce alloys and PuCoGa5. We make use of the “local density matrix” approximation (LDMA) to DMFT, that combines the Hubbard-I approximation with the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method , including self-consistency over the charge density. Calculated PE spectra and electronic specific heatcoefficient are in good agreement with avaliable experimental data.
