Abstract

This chapter gives a brief overview on recent advances in the treatment of nonrelativistic electronic collisions in finite and extended systemsl. A proper description of electronic collisions [1–4] is a prerequisite for the understanding of a variety of material properties. Emphasis is put on analytical concepts that unravel common features and differences between scattering events in finite few-body (atomic) systems and large, extended systems (molecules, metal clusters, and solid surfaces) . The properties of few-body Coulomb scattering states are discussed for two-, three-, four- and N- particle systems. For large, finite systems the concept of Green’s function is utilized as a powerful tool for the description of electronic excitations as well as for the study of collective and thermodynamic properties. For the description of highly excited electronic states in solids and surfaces, the Green’s function method, developed in field theory, is used. When available, the theoretical models are contrasted with experimental findings.
