Computational Methods in Condensed Matter: Electronic Structure [Hardcover]

Blurb & Contents This current and comprehensive treatment of the physics of small- amplitude waves in hot magnetized plasmas provides a thorough update of the author's classic Theory of Plasma Waves. New topics include quasi-linear theory, inhomogeneous plasmas, collisions, absolute and convective instability, and mode conversion. Valuable for graduates and advanced undergraduates and an indispensable reference work for researchers in plasmas, controlled fusion, and space science.Contents: Electron states in condensed matter. Calculation methods for electronic structures in condensed matter. Pseudopotential method. Electron theory for calculation of some physical properties.
