Rapid advances are taking place in the application of density functional
theory (DFT) to describe complex electronic structures, to accurately
treat large systems and to predict physical and chemical properties.
Both theoretical content and computational methodology are developing at
a pace which offers researchers new opportunities in areas such as
quantum chemistry, cluster science, and solid state physics.
This volume contains ten contributions by leading scientists in the
field and provides an authoritative overview of the most important
developments. The book focuses on the following themes: determining
adequate approximations for the many-body problem of electronic
correlations; how to transform these approximations into computational
algorithms; applications to discover and predict properties of
electronic systems; and developing the theory.
For researchers in surface chemistry, catalysis, ceramics and inorganic
chemistry.
