DESCRIPTION:
'The book places electronic structure in the context of elementary issues in physics, while at the same time emphasising its role in providing useful information on the properties of materials unified exposition of the basic theory and methods of electronic structure, together with instructive examples of practical computational methods and actual applications aim is to serve graduate students and scientists involved in research while acting as supplementary material for courses on condensed matter physics and material science Examples of problems are included in each chapter to bring out salient points and challenge the reader.'

Many properties of materials can now be determined directly from the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics, bringing new insights into critical problems in physics, chemistry, and materials science.. The study of the electronic structure of materials is at a momentous stage, with the emergence of new computational methods and theoretical approaches. This volume provides an introduction to the field and describes its conceptual framework, the capabilities of present methods, limitations, and challenges for the future
Zhigang Mei said Good book, badly bound. I got this book quite soon, just four days after ordering. However, the binding of this book is so terrible that I have to return it.. Alistair Ward said Excellent book. As a graduate student attempting to learn density functional theory and its use in computer programmes, I have found this book to be an excellent addition to my library. Well structured and written.. Outstanding This book was recommended to me to help me in my research, and has turned out to be one of the best recommendations I have ever received. This is a great book; by far the best I have come across on the topic of computing the properties of condensed phase materials by quantum mechanical simulations. Here are the reasons why.1. The chapters are well laid out and one chapter flows neatly to the next.2. The math is kept to a minimum; the author makes a point of communicating important principles and ideas in concise sentences without resorting t
