A Festschrift in honor of Professor Marvin L. Cohen This volume is
a Festschrift in honor of Professor Marvin L. Cohen. The articles,
contributed by leading researchers in condensed matter physics,
high-light recent advances in the use of quantum theory to explain
and predict properties of real materials. The invention of quantum
mechanics in the 1920's provided detailed descriptions of the
electronic structure of atoms. However, a similar understanding of
solids has been achieved only in the past 30 years, owing to the
complex electron-ion and electron electron interactions in these
systems. Professor Cohen is a central figure in this achievement.
His development of the pseudopotential and total energy methods
provided an alternate route using computers for the exploration of
solids and new materials even when they have not yet been
synthesized. Professor Cohen's contributions to materials theory
have been both fundamental and encompassing. The corpus of his work
consists of over 500 papers and a textbook. His band structures for
semiconductors are used worldwide by researchers in solid state
physics and chemistry and by device engineers. Professor Cohen's
own use of his theories has resulted in the determination of the
electronic structure, optical properties, structural and
vibrational properties, and superconducting properties of numerous
condensed matter systems including semiconductors, metals,
surfaces, interfaces, defects in solids, clusters, and novel
materials such as the fullerides and nanotubes."
