Description for Planewaves, Pseudopotentials, and the LAPW Method
Hardback. Presents an exposition of the principles methods for calculating properties of solids, in particular the "LAPW" method. This book suggests future directions for adapting the LAPW method to simulations of complex materials requiring large unit cells. It elucidates the connections between the LAPW method and planewave pseudopotential approaches. Num Pages: 134 pages, 25 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 397.
The first edition of this book, published in 1994, provided an exposition of the LAPW method and its relationship with other electronic structure approaches, especially Car-Parrinello based planewave methods. Since publication of that book, the LAPW method has been transformed from a specialized method used mostly by researchers running their own home made versions, to a popular, widely used method, where most users run standard codes to investigate ma terials of interest to them. This is an exciting development because it opens the door to widespread use of first principles calculations in diverse areas of condensed matter physics and materials ... Read more
