Abstract:
In the first part of the talk, I will discuss some new ideas in treatment of electron correlation effects in density functional calculations. In the second part, I will discuss investigations of the short range and medium range order in supercooled metallic liquids.
Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
