Description
Most textbooks in the field are either too advanced for students or don't adequately cover current research topics. Bridging this gap, Electronic Structure of Materials helps advanced undergraduate and graduate students understand electronic structure methods and enables them to use these techniques in their work.Developed from the author's lecture
Reviews / Votes
"This book gives an excellent introduction to the electronic structure of materials for newcomers to the field. ... very useful as a source of fundamental knowledge for theoretical calculations. ... I can recommend this book without hesitation to all interested in electronic structure of materials, particularly to those entering the field. It is written at a level appropriate to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Also, it is a good book for researchers with a chemistry, physics, or materials background."-MRS Bulletin, Volume 39, August 2014
