Concepts for Modeling Electrons in Solids: A Perspective

摘要: It’s clear that an understanding of the behavior electrons in solids is essential for explaining and predicting solid state properties. Electrons provide glue holding together, hence they are central determining structural, mechanical vibrational Under influence electromagnetic fields, electrical current transport involves electron most solids. Optical properties many ranges frequency dominated by electronic transitions. Understanding superconductivity, magnetism, dielectric properties, ferroelectricity, requires a detailed knowledge “electronic structure” which term associated with study energy levels, but more broadly general label subfield condensed matter physics focused on
