Abstract
A novel approach to the investigation of correlation effects in the
electronic structure of magnetic crystals which takes into account
a frequency dependence of the self-energy (the so-called `LDA++ approach')
is developed. The fluctuation-exchange approximation is generalized
to the spin-polarized multi-band case and a local version of it is
proposed. As an example, we calculate the electronic quasiparticle
spectrum of ferromagnetic iron. It is shown that the Fermi-liquid
description of the bands near the Fermi level is reasonable, while
the quasiparticle states beyond approximately the 1 eV range are
strongly damped, in agreement with photoemission data. The result
of the spin-polarized thermoemission experiment is explained satisfactorily.
The problem of satellite structure is discussed.
