The study of the electronic structure of materials is at a
momentous stage, with the emergence of computational methods and
theoretical approaches. Many properties of materials can now be
determined directly from the fundamental equations for the
electrons, providing insights into critical problems in physics,
chemistry, and materials science. This book provides a unified
exposition of the basic theory and methods of electronic structure,
together with instructive examples of practical computational
methods and real-world applications. Appropriate for both graduate
students and practising scientists, this book describes the
approach most widely used today, density functional theory, with
emphasis upon understanding the ideas, practical methods and
limitations. Many references are provided to original papers,
pertinent reviews, and widely available books. Included in each
chapter is a short list of the most relevant references and a set
of exercises that reveal salient points and challenge the
reader.
