We present the results of a recently developed approach where the interplay between the itinerant and localized character of electrons in narrow band materials is described by adding on-site correlation effects to a realistic band calculation: the single particle band states are treated as mean field solutions of a multi-orbital Hubbard Hamiltonian and the many-body term associated with localized e-e interaction is described in a configuration-interaction scheme. Quasi-particle states of nickel and CuGe03 have been calculated and compared with spectroscopical results.
