The magnetic properties of strongly correlated systems (MnO, FeO, CoO, NiO) in different magnetic structures (anti ferromagnetic (AF) 1, anti ferromagnetic (AF) 2, ferromagnetic (FM)) were investigated by the LSDA+U formalism implemented within the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green’s function method. Calculations were performed fully relativistically as well as scalar relativistically using both, the atomic sphere approximation and a full potential formalism. Spin and orbital magnetic moments were calculated. The exchange coupling constants have been determined by a mapping of energy differences of different magnetic structures onto a Heisenberg-model. Further, the exchange coupling constants have been calculated by a relativistic generalization of Lichtenstein’s formula.
