Band calculations for Ce compounds with the AuCu$_{3}$-type crystal structure were carried out on the basis of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The results of applying the calculation to CeIn$_{3}$ and CeSn$_{3}$ are presented as the second in a series of papers. The Kondo temperature and crystal-field splitting are obtained, respectively, as 190 and 390 K (CeSn$_{3}$), 8 and 160 K (CeIn$_{3}$ under ambient pressure), and 30 and 240 K (CeIn$_{3}$ at a pressure of 2.75 GPa). Experimental results for the photoemission spectrum are reasonably well reproduced. In CeSn$_{3}$, a Fermi surface (FS) structure similar to that obtained by a refined calculation based on the local density approximation (LDA) is obtained. In CeIn$_{3}$, the topology of the FS structure is different from that obtained by the LDA calculation but seems to be consistent with the results of de Haas-van Alphen experiments. Cyclotron mass of the correct magnitude is obtained in both compounds. The experimental result for the angular correlation of the electron-positron annihilation radiation is reasonably well reproduced on the basis of the itinerant 4f picture. A band calculation for CeIn$_{3}$ in the antiferromagnetic state was carried out, and it was shown that the occupied 4f state should have a very shallow level.

Band calculations for Ce compounds with the AuCu$_{3}$-type crystal structure were carried out on the basis of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The auxiliary impurity problem was solved by a method named NCA$f^{2}$vc (noncrossing approximation inc
luding the $f^{2}$ state as a vertex correction). The calculations take into account the crystal-field splitting, the spin-orbit interaction, and the correct exchange process of the $f^{1} rightarrow f^{0},f^{2}$ virtual excitation. These are necessary features in the quantitative band theory for Ce compounds and in the calculation of their excitation spectra. The results of applying the calculation to CePd$_{3}$ and CeRh$_{3}$ are presented as the first in a series of papers. The experimental results of the photoemission spectrum (PES), the inverse PES, the angle-resolved PES, and the magnetic excitation spectra were reasonably reproduced by the first-principles DMFT band calculation. At low temperatures, the Fermi surface (FS) structure of CePd$_{3}$ is similar to that of the band obtained by the local density approximation. It gradually changes into a form that is similar to the FS of LaPd$_{3}$ as the temperature increases, since the $4f$ band shifts to the high-energy side and the lifetime broadening becomes large.}
Using local density approximation plus dynamical mean-field theory (LDA+DMFT), we have computed the valence band photoelectron spectra of highly popular multiferroic BiFeO$_{3}$. Within DMFT, the local impurity problem is tackled by exact diagonaliza
tion (ED) solver. For comparison, we also present result from LDA+U approach, which is commonly used to compute physical properties of this compound. Our LDA+DMFT derived spectra match adequately with the experimental hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) and resonant photoelectron spectroscopy (RPES) for Fe 3$d$ states, whereas the other theoretical method that we employed failed to capture the features of the measured spectra. Thus, our investigation shows the importance of accurately incorporating the dynamical aspects of electron-electron interaction among the Fe 3$d$ orbitals in calculations to produce the experimental excitation spectra, which establishes BiFeO$_{3}$ as a strongly correlated electron system. The LDA+DMFT derived density of states (DOSs) exhibit significant amount of Fe 3$d$ states at the energy of Bi lone-pairs, implying that the latter is not as alone as previously thought in the spectral scenario. Our study also demonstrates that the combination of orbital cross-sections for the constituent elements and broadening schemes for the calculated spectral function are pivotal to explain the detailed structures of the experimental spectra.
We review the basic ideas of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and some of the insights into the electronic structure of strongly correlated electrons obtained by this method in the context of model Hamiltonians. We then discuss the perspectives
for carrying out more realistic DMFT studies of strongly correlated electron systems and we compare it with existent methods, LDA and LDA+U. We stress the existence of new functionals for electronic structure calculations which allow us to treat situations where the single--particle description breaks down such as the vicinity of the Mott transition.
We present a review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density functional theory which are currently used in electronic structure calculations of strongly-correlated materials where the one-electron description breaks down. We illustra
te the method with several examples where interactions play a dominant role: systems near metal-insulator transition, systems near volume collapse transition, and systems with local moments.
Fifteen parameters characterizing the crystal field of rare-earth ions in the RMO$_3$ perovskites (R = Pr, Nd, M = Ga, Co) are calculated by expanding the local Hamiltonian expressed in the basis of Wannier functions into a series of spherical tensor
operators. The method contains a single adjustable parameter that characterizes the hybridization of R($4f$) states with the states of oxygen ligands. Subsequently the energy levels and magnetic moments of trivalent R ion are determined by diagonalization of an effective Hamiltonian which, besides the crystal field, contains the $4f$ electron-electron repulsion, spin-orbit coupling and interaction with magnetic field. In the Ga compounds the energy levels of the ground multiplet agree within few meV with those determined experimentally by other authors. For all four compounds in question the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility is measured on polycrystalline samples and compared with the results of calculation. For NdGaO$_3$ theory is also compared with the magnetic measurements on a single crystal presented by Luis {it et al.} Phys. Rev. B {bf 58}, 798 (1998). A good agreement between the experiment and theory is found.
