Strongly correlated systems are a class of materials whose electronic structure is heavily influenced by the effect of electron-electron interactions. In these systems, an effective singleparticle description may not capture the many-body effects accurately. Although density functional theory (DFT) plus dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has proven successful in describing strongly correlated electron systems for over two decades, only very recently ready-to-use software packages have begun to become available, with most scientific research carried out by in-house codes developed and used in individual research groups. Given the complexity of the method, there is also the question of whether users should implement the formalism themselves for each problem or whether black-box software, analogous to popular DFT packages, would be beneficial to the community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
