X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is widely used to determine the chemical and
electronic states of atoms within a material. However, it is often complex to interpret the O 1s …

The theory of the electronic structure of clean metal and semiconductor surfaces is reviewed,
starting from an effective one-electron Schrodinger equation. Methods for solving the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the magnetism transition in ultrathin metal films.
In discussing magnetic thin metal films, intrinsic from defect-induced magnetic thin film …

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 …

The linearized-augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method for thin films is generalized by
removing the remaining shape approximation to the potential inside the atomic spheres. A …

In this paper, we review some of the key concepts in ultrathin film magnetism which underpin
nanomagnetism. We survey the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well …

A new formalism for determining highly accurate total energies of solids within density
functional theory is presented in which all necessary terms are easily obtained from the …

of available information. Even more importantly, some authors who have contributed
substantially to an area may have been overlooked. For this I apologize. I have, however …

The development of a method for calculating the frequency-dependent second harmonic
generation coefficient of insulators and semiconductors based on the self-consistent …

This book, in the broadest sense, is an application of quantum mechanics and statistical
mechanics to the field of magnetism. Under certain well described conditions, an immensely …
