At present, there is an increasing interest in the prediction of properties of classical and new materials such as substitutional alloys, their surfaces, and metallic or semiconductor multilayers. A detailed understanding based on a microscopic, parameter-free approach is thus o…
An introduction to the study of basic electronic and magnetic properties of complex materials such as alloys, their surfaces, interfaces, and extended defects. Part I explores theoretical background, with chapters on the linear muffin-tin orbital method, Green function method, c…
The AlInGaN and ZnO materials systems have proven to be one of the scientifically and technologically important areas of development over the past 15 years, with applications in UV/visible optoelectronics and in high-power/high-frequency microwave devices. The pace of advances i…
