The electronic structure of gadolinium metal and CeSb have been calcul
ated using a density functional method which explicitly includes the C
oulomb parameter U for the 4f-electrons. The calculated density of sta
tes, total energies, Fermi surface, and magneto-optical properties are
in better agreement with experiment than those obtained with the stan
dard local density technique.
