Abstract

One of the long-sought-after goals of condensed matter theorists has been to explain and predict the properties of real materials from first principles using quantum theory. Several recent advances and the availability of modern computers are making this goal approachable ([3.1–3] and Chap. 5). The application of first principles methods has given fundamental understanding of the behavior of a host of materials and materials systems, such as surfaces and interfaces. As in atoms and molecules, the physical and chemical properties of materials are ultimately governed by their electronic structure. In particular, the ability to predict the electronic excitation spectra is important in the understanding and application of the electronic materials.
