Perhaps do a google search for correlated materials.  For example, maybe 
the following references are of interest:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongly_correlated_material#Electronic_structures
https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.3355v1 (Section 1. LDA+U vs Hartree-Fock and 
Exact Exchange)
http://www.cond-mat.de/events/correl12/manuscripts/ (The LDA+U Approach: 
A Simple Hubbard Correction for Correlated Ground States)
