Our group is active in both developement and application of the density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) methods to compute the spectroscopic and structural properties of materials. Special attention is paid to infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The goal of the project is to describe the vibrational properties of transition metal oxides with open d electron shells, studying the impact of the magnetic and electronic structure of the metal ion. To this purpose, we plan to use DFPT and to extend it beyond DFT using approaches as DFT+U and dynamic mean field theory. This work is done in close collaboration with experimentalists and is part of an interdisciplinary project focusing on the vibrational properties of Earth materials. It will provide new constrains on the evolution and transformation of natural systems. Selected publications: Balan E., Mauri F., Lemaire C., Brouder C., Guyot F., Saitta A.M., Devouard B.
