Abstract
A new form of density functional has been proposed to take account of intraatomic correlations of valent d-electrons in 3d-metals, vanadium, niobium, manganese, technetium in particular. The functional has been constructed using Gutzwiller's correlation to find basic state energy in the systems with correlations. The technique proposed has been applied to calculation of elementary cell volume and compressibility for a number of 3d- and 4d-metals.
