Abstract:
In order to understand the magnetic properties of solids and molecules, an accurate
description of the underlying microscopic many-electron systems is required. This can
be achieved through several theoretical and computational methods, which account
for the electron-electron interactions and for quantum effects within different levels
of approximation. In this thesis, we apply some of these methods [density functional
theory (DFT), Hartree-Fock (HF), random phase apj)roximation (RPA), continuum
and lattice quantum Monte Carlo (QMC)] to the study of various problems of current
interest within the field of spintronics.
