Hartree-Fock-Slater Method for Materials Science The DV-Xa Method for Design And Characterization of Materials

Molecular-orbital calculations for materials design such as alloys, ceramics, and coordination compounds are now possible for experimentalists. Molecuar-orbital calculations for the interpretation of chemical effect of spectra are also possible for experimentalists. The most suitable molecular-orbital calculation method for these purpose is the DV-Xa method, which is robust in such a way that the calculation converges to a result even if the structure of the molecule or solid is impossible in the pressure and temperature ranges on earth. This book specially addresses the methods to design novel materials and to predict the spectralline shape of unknown materials using the DV-Xa molecular-orbital method, but is also useful for those who want to calculate electronic structures of materials using any kind of method.Adachi, H. is the author of 'Hartree-Fock-Slater Method for Materials Science The DV-Xa Method for Design And Characterization of Materials', published 2006 under ISBN 9783540245087 and ISBN 3540245081.
