The embedding method for electronic structure /

The embedding method is a way of solving the Schrödinger equation for electrons in a region of space joined to a substrate. It is a flexible method, as well as surface electronic structure, it can be used to study interfaces, adsorbates, conductance through molecules and confined electrons, and eve...

520 3 |a The embedding method is a way of solving the Schrödinger equation for electrons in a region of space joined to a substrate. It is a flexible method, as well as surface electronic structure, it can be used to study interfaces, adsorbates, conductance through molecules and confined electrons, and even used to calculate the energy distribution of electrons confined by nanostructures. Embedding can be applied to solving Maxwell's equations, leading to an efficient way of finding the photonic and plasmonic band structure. In this book, John Inglesfield reviews the embedding method for calculating electronic structures and its application within modern condensed matter physics research. Supplemented with demonstration programmes, codes and examples, this book provides a thorough review of the method and would be an accessible starting point for graduate students or researchers in physics and physical chemistry wishing to understand and use the method, or as a single up to date and authoritative reference source for those already using the method.

After a research fellowship at St John's College he moved to the Daresbury Laboratory joining the Theory and Computational Science Division, of which he became head in 1982. He subsequently moved to the University of Nijmegen (Netherlands) in 1989 as Professor of Electronic Structure of Materials, and finally moved to Cardiff University in 1995.
