Abstract
Most, if not all, of the properties of solids can be traced to the behavior of electrons, the “glue” that holds atoms together to form a solid. An important aim of the condensed matter theory is thus calculating the electronic structure (ES) of solids. The theory of ES is not only helpful in understanding and interpreting experiments, but it also becomes a predictive tool of the physics and chemistry of condensed matter and materials science
