Abstract: Density functional theory is the most popular method to study ferromagnetic transition metals. However, it is often insufficient for describing correlation effects in magnetic thin-film heterostructures. This work presents a computational approach that combines Density Functional Theory and Dynamical Mean Field Theory for transition metal thin films, using a multiorbital perturbative solver for the many-body problem. Calculations accurately describe the 3$d$-state spin splitting at low computational cost, thus enabling the investigation of correlation effects at spintronic interfaces.
