Abstract:
A many-body wave function can be factorized in Fock space into a marginal amplitude describing a set of strongly correlated orbitals and a conditional amplitude for the remaining weakly correlated part. The marginal amplitude is the solution of a Schrödinger equation with an effective Hamiltonian that can be viewed as embedding the marginal wave function in the environment of weakly correlated electrons. Here, the complementary equation for the conditional amplitude is replaced by a generalized Kohn-Sham equation, for which an orbital-dependent functional approximation is shown to reproduce the topological phase diagram of a multiband Hubbard model as a function of crystal field and Hubbard parameters. The roles of band filling and interband fluctuations are elucidated.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
