Electronic structure of complex materials with unusual properties is studied
with TB-LMTO, FP-LAPW, and pseudopotential ab-initio density-functional methods.
The calculations are used to predict new materials with potential applications.
Relativistic effects and correlation-induced dynamical fluctuations in the electronic
structure of alloys, surfaces, interfaces, interlayers and multilayers are taken into account.
Real-space finite-element method applicable to nonperiodic structures is being developed.
