Abstract
The principles of the Local Spin-Density-Functional (LSDF) method, its usefulness to study interacting electron systems, especially those involving local magnetic moments, and its various applications are outlined. Experimental evidences for magnetic moments localized on charged impurities in doped semiconductors are briefly reviewed. The insulator-to-metal transition and the vanishing of local spin polarization, which occur as the impurity concentration increases, are described using the LSDF formalism.
