Introduction to Electronic Structure Theory

• An introduction to electronic structure theory of solids is presented, including the general form of the one-electron wave function. The evaluation of the electron density, density of states as well as the calculation of energy bands is described. Different types of integration of reciprocal space are presented, and numerical examples given for their accuracy. The calculation of a self-consistent field is also described, as is the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method.
