Electronic Structure and Properties of Layered Structures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Surface Properties of Layered Structures

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 16))

Abstract

The electronic structure of layered materials — both natural and artificial — is a subject of growing interest and investigation. This growing interest in the experimental aspects of these studies is clearly given in the other chapters of this book. Here we present some illustrations of the theoretical work on layered semiconductor structures. Because of space limitations, no attempt at completeness can be attempted; thus we confine ourselves to three examples taken from our own work.
