Ab-initio theory of the magnetic properties of heterogeneous nanostructures

This thesis presents a general formalism for a Density Functional Theory description of the magnetic state of a heterogeneous system, from its paramagnetic high-temperature state to the magnetically ordered ground state. The key ingredient is the identification of localised magnetic moments as emerg...
