Abstract

Recent progress in the application of first principles theory to the electronic structure of transition metal materials is reviewed with particular emphasis on the use of the exact exchange interaction. The success of this approach is exemplified by calculations on a range of materials: simple monoxides, chromium cyanides and perovskite structure copper fluorides. The reliability of computed properties is established for lattice structures, spin-couplings, spin-lattice interactions, orbital ordering effects and the changes in the ground state induced by hole doping.
