The primary goal of a materials scientist is a predictive
understanding of materials properties and that requires a clear
picture of the role played by electrons in determining the
materials' behavior. 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
Schroedinger equation that describes the behavior of electrons in a
solid. This book describes one formal approach to solving the
Schroedinger equation developed within the framework of multiple
scattering theory (MST). It offers a comprehensive and welcome
entree 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.
