The first edition of this book, published in 1994, provided an
exposition of the LAPW method and its relationship with other
electronic structure approaches, especially Car-Parrinello based
planewave methods. Since publication of that book, the LAPW method
has been transformed from a specialized method used mostly by
researchers running their own home made versions, to a popular,
widely used method, where most users run standard codes to
investigate ma terials of interest to them. This is an exciting
development because it opens the door to widespread use of first
principles calculations in diverse areas of condensed matter
physics and materials science. The positive impact of this on
scientific progress is already becoming clear. Also as a result of
this trend, the great majority of researchers using the LAPW method
are no longer directly in volved in the development of LAPW codes.
Nonetheless, it remains important to understand how the LAPW method
works, what its limitations are, and how its parameters determine
the quahty and efficiency of calculations. The scientist with an
understanding of how the method works has a clear advantage. This
edition is an updated and expanded treatment of the LAPW method,
including descriptions of key developments in the LAPW method since
1994, such as p 1/2 local orbitals, the APW-i-LO method, LDA+U
calculations and non-collinear magnetism, as well as much of the
material from the first edition."
