Non-spherical potentials in the band theory of solids

Abstract:

This study is concerned with the problem of calculating electronic band structures of solids from a priori potentials, in particular potentials which are not spherically symmetric about the centre of the Wigner-Seitz cell. Band structure calculations are performed using the Cellular Method, and the adaptation of this method to deal with non-spherical potentials is a major concern of this work.

A review is presented of the wo...
