Only then can one hope to design and build new materials with desired physical, chemical and engineering characteristics. Research is carried out on the basis of quantum mechanics, through solution of the so-called single-particle Schrödinger equation that describes the behavior of electrons in a solid. This book describes one formal approach to solving the Schrödinger equation developed within the framework of multiple scattering theory (MST). It offers a comprehensive and welcome entrée to the field of electronic structure of solids and should serve as a treatise for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in the field. Topics Include: concepts and formalism; periodic solids and impurities; substitutional alloys; surfaces and interfaces; transport; phonons and photons and formal Green-function theory.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Materials Research Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266501824792,"sku":"9781558995406","price":86.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781558995406i_37a4d3d7-0eea-4a31-a705-0f856cce7e24.jpg?v=1696684073","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/theoretical-materials-science-tracing-the-electronic-origins-of-materials-behavior-hardback-9781558995406","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
