 I would like to thank him for six month of financial support, which allowed me to extend my research period, as well as for his helpful contributions to common articles and respective publishing procedures.
 More importantly, the collaboration involved further investigations based on first-principles calculations, which improved the quality of this work to a great extent.
 At this point, I would like to express special thanks to Dr. Eva Rauls.

+The present thesis would not have been possible without her assistance and mentoring with respect to the utilized methods required by the new approach of investigation as well as her expertise in the materials system.
+I am greatly thankful for the possibility to repeatedly visit the theroy group in Paderborn.
+In this context, Dr. Simone Sanna is acknowledged for respective technical support and Michael Weinl, doctoral student of Prof. J\"org K. N. Lindner back then, for accomodation.

+I am grateful to Priv.-Doz. Dr. habil. Volker Eyert for writing one of the certificates of this work.
+Furthermore, his lectures on computational physics and the electronic structure of materials, which I attented during my academic studies, influenced me to pursue scientific research in the field of computational physics.

-Ich glaube, die beiden sind sich nicht bewusst in welchem masse sie mich durch neues material als auch durch entgegenbrachte begeisterung ermutigt haben und zur verbesserung der arbeit beigetragen haben.
+One more time, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Bernd Stritzker for another two-month position as a member of his reaearch staff and various long-term employments as a reasearch assistant, which not only ensured a minimum of financial supply but also involved tutorships in the field of solid state physics that could be carried out in a more or less free and autonomous way.
 
+I am grateful to Ralf Utermann, responsible for the computing infrastructure in the physics department, for providing access and support with the excellently maintaind high performance units available in the Augsburg Linux Compute Cluster.
+Furthermore, being employed as an assistant under his direction during the first times of my studies, he provided insight into modern computing technology and, in doing so, sparked my interest in computational physics.
