Charge Density in Materials and Energy Science

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Modern Charge-Density Analysis

  • 1952 Accesses

Abstract

During the last decade charge density studies have matured and more and more studies target specific chemical, physical or biological issues rather than method development. Indeed a very wide range of information can be retrieved from analysis of charge densities. Here we review recent applications of charge density analysis in materials science with emphasis on thermoelectric, magnetic and porous materials.
