Publisher's Synopsis
The book will cover the same topics as the first edition, with some additional material. It
will derive the embedding method and will describe in detail how this can be applied to
non-relativistic and relativistic self-consistent calculations of surface and interface
electronic structure. This will be extended to include recent work on topological invariants
and topological surface states. Electron transport within embedding theory will be
discussed, and there will be more material on transport through magnetic interfaces. As in
the first edition, links with other theoretical methods will be discussed, such as Rmatrix
theory in atomic physics and dynamic meanfield theory. As in the first edition, the
application of embedding to photonics will be treated. The book will also contain a new
chapter on Embedding and the many-electron systems.
