Understanding the electronic structure of solids is a basic part of theoretical investigation in physics. Application of investigative techniques requires the s

An introduction to the study of basic electronic and magnetic properties of complex materials such as alloys, their surfaces, interfaces, and extended defects.

Developments in the density functional theory and the methods of electronic structure calculations have made it possible to carry out ab-initio studies of a var

This book is a broad review of the electronic structure of metals and alloys. It emphasises the way in which the behavior of electrons in these materials govern

Imagine that a young physicist would approach a granting agen cy and propose to contribute to heterogeneous catalysis by studying the heat conductivity of gases
