17 3d’s High Tc Superconductors Does a plaquette DMFT of simple model Hamiltonians, (Hubbard and t-J), capture the qualitative physics of cuprates ? Doping driven Mott transition in 2d-single band spin 1/2 system. Study different mean field phases as a function of parameters. Avoid the hard controversial question of which phase has the lowest free energy in the thermodynamical limit. cf Maier et. al. 95, 237001 (2005) Aimi and Imada arXiv:0708.3416

23 First priciples theory assisted material design with correlated electron systems ? Are we there yet ? No………, but wait!!!!!

25 .Smallest cell which captures the physics of the solid..Impurity solver to obtain the self energy of the strongly correlated and weakly correlated electrons.

26 Conclusions Correlations in sp electrons (worse case ) require 3 coordination spheres. 4f’s single site works reasonably well for the Ir 115. Quantum critical point : 2 site DMFT ? 5f’s Pu as a mixed valent metal. Cm RKKY metal. 3d’s. High Tc. Nodal antinodal dichotomy, novel type of Mott transition. Two gap scenario in SC state ? Thanks!!
