abstract = {Electronic spin excitations are low-energy excitations that
influence the properties of magnetic materials
substantially. Two types of spin excitations can be
identified, single-particle Stoner excitations and
collective spin-wave excitations. They can be treated on the
same footing within many-body perturbation theory. In this
theory, the collective spin excitations arise from the
correlated motion of electron-hole pairs with opposite
spins. We present the theory in detail and discuss several
aspects of an implementation within the full-potential
linearized augmented plane-wave method. The pair propagation
is described by the transverse magnetic susceptibility,
which we calculate from first principles employing the
ladder approximation for the T matrix. The four-point T
matrix is represented in a basis of Wannier functions. By
using an auxiliary Wannier set with suitable Bloch
character, the magnetic response function can be evaluated
for arbitrary k points, allowing fine details of the
spin-wave spectra to be studied. The energy of the acoustic
spin-wave branch should vanish in the limit k →0, which
is a manifestation of the Goldstone theorem. However, this
condition is often violated in the calculated acoustic
magnon dispersion, which can partly be traced back to the
choice of the Green function. In fact, the numerical gap
error is considerably reduced when a renormalized Green
function is used. As an alternative simple correction
scheme, we suggest an adjustment of the Kohn-Sham exchange
splitting. We present spin excitation spectra for the
elementary ferromagnets Fe, Co, and Ni as illustrative
examples and compare to model calculations of the
homogeneous electron gas},
