Addressing graduate students and researchers, this book gives a
very detailed theoretical and computational description of multiple
scattering in solid matter. Particular emphasis is placed on solids
with reduced dimensions, on full potential approaches and on
relativistic treatments. For the first time approaches such as the
screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method are reviewed, considering
all formal steps such as single-site scattering, structure
constants and screening transformations, and also the numerical
point of view. Furthermore, a very general approach is presented
for solving the Poisson equation, needed within density functional
theory in order to achieve self-consistency. Special chapters are
devoted to the Coherent Potential Approximation and to the Embedded
Cluster Method, used, for example, for describing nanostructured
matter in real space. In a final chapter, physical properties
related to the (single-particle) Green's function, such as magnetic
anisotropies, interlayer exchange coupling, electric and
magneto-optical transport and spin-waves, serve to illustrate the
usefulness of the methods described.
