Electronic Structure and Magneto-Optical Properties of Solids

Více o knize

Focusing on theoretical advancements, this book reviews the electronic structure and various properties of compounds and multilayered structures, including optical and magneto-optical characteristics. It begins with foundational concepts in band theory, particularly density functional theory, and discusses modifications like gradient and self-interaction corrections. Key methods such as LDA+U, GW approximation, and dynamical mean-field theory are explored, alongside an introduction to magneto-optical effects and linear response theory, providing a comprehensive understanding of these complex topics.
