    Abstract : First principle electronic structure theory is used to describe the effect of crystal binding on radiation detectors, electron transport properties, and structural damage induced by intense irradiation. A large database containing general electronic structure results to which data mining algorithms can be applied in the search for new functional materials, a case study is presented for scintillator detector materials.

  6. 4. First principles methods for electronic structure calculations of solids

    Author : Martin Springer; Matematisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; screened interaction; T-matrix; vertex function; GW approximation; Green function; density functional theory; gradient expansion; order N method; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : A straightforward gradient expansion of the exchange energy of a perturbed electron gas is performed. Studied perturbations range from very weak to those that produce, e.g., a silicon-like band structure with a band gap. READ MORE
