Abstract

The magneto-optical spectra of NiMnSb were calculated in the framework of the Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA) combined with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT). Comparing with results based on plain LSDA, an additional account of many-body correlations via DMFT results in a noticably improved agreement of the theoretical Kerr-rotation and ellipticity spectra with corresponding experimental data.
