Abstract
Electron correlation effects on magnetism are discussed from a local point of view on the basis of the dynamical coherent potential approximation (CPA) which completely takes account of the dynamical spin and charge fluctuations within the single-site approximation. The dynamical CPA is equivalent to other single-site theories of strongly correlated electrons: the many-body CPA, the dynamical mean-field theory, and the projection operator method CPA. The method is shown to describe both the dynamical effects on magnetic properties and the many-body band structure on the same footing. The effects of orbital degeneracy and the realistic calculation scheme are discussed with emphasis on Hund's rule coupling. Two types of theories for non-local correlations, the molecular dynamics approach and the self-consistent projection operator approach, are presented. The effects of magnetic short-range order and non-local correlations are discussed with some numerical results.
