Title: Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of disordered magnetic and superconducting materials

Conference ·

Over the last decade, Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations for tight binding Hamiltonians like the Hubbard and Anderson lattice models have made the transition from addressing abstract issues concerning the effects of electron-electron correlations on magnetic and metal-insulator transitions, to concrete contact with experiment. This paper presents results of applications of "determinant" QMC to systems with disorder such as the conductivity of thin metallic films, the behavior of the magnetic susceptibility in doped semiconductors, and Zn doped cuprate superconductors. Finally, preliminary attempts to model the Kondo volume collapse in rare earth materials are discussed.
