The treatment of systems with strongly correlated electrons from first principles is a topic of big interest, e.g. for the description of the magnetic properties of lanthanides. The Hubbard-I method [1] method embeds a single impurity Anderson model, which describes the correlated orbital, into density functional theory (DFT) calculations and approximates the former by neglecting any interactions with the outside bath, i.e. hybridization with other orbitals. We discuss its implementation in the full potential linearized augmented planewave (FLAPW) method as realized in the FLEUR code [2].

In the course of the implementation, the calculation of local Green’s function inside the muffin-tin spheres in the FLAPW framework is performed. Using Andersen’s local force theorem Green’s functions can also be used to calculate the magnetic properties of Heisenberg-like systems. The calculation of the spin stiffness is performed for bulk cobalt and iron, while the Hubbard-I procedure is applied to the test systems of gadolinium and europium.
