We investigate the effects of electronic correlations on the spectral and transport properties of inhomogeneous model systems. The models are based on the single-band Hubbard Hamiltonian, and electronic correlations are treated within dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). In particular, continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) as well as the more recent tensor network methods (DMRG+TDVP) are employed as impurity solvers to study the spectral function of half-metallic ferromagents; a Bethe lattice as well as layered square-lattice structures are considered [1]. The transport properties through a barrier made of such a single interacting half-metallic layer is studied [2] employing the Meir–Wingreen formalism. In particular, we demonstrate that even for a single half-metallic layer, highly polarized transmissions are achievable.
