This project is devoted to investigations of the charge and spin transport properties of inhomogeneous systems, in particular, interfaces and heterostructures, in order to elucidate the role of the electron-electron interaction. Technically, theoretical approaches based on non-equilibrium Green's functions are applied. We will consider steady state out-of-equilibrium situations, and solve the corresponding Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) equations in combination with Density Functional Theory (DFT), for both model systems and realistic heterostuctures.
