Download or read book The Augmented Spherical Wave Method written by Volker Eyert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Augmented Spherical Wave (ASW) method is one of the powerful approaches to handle the requirement of finite basis sets in DFT calculations. It is particularly suited for the calculation of elastic properties and phonon spectra of solid-state materials. This book addresses all those who want to learn about methods for electronic structure calculations and the ASW method in particular.
