Methods of Calculation of Energy Bands in Solids

  • Chapter
Electrons in Finite and Infinite Structures

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 24))

Abstract

These lectures present a review of the basic principles and methods of the calculation of energy bands. The procedures in current use are surveyed briefly. Recent developments are noted. The problems of the construction of a crystal potential are examined in regard to the representation of the exchange interaction.

Supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
