Multiple Scattering Theory (eBook)

J S Faulkner obtained his PhD in physics from The Ohio State University and he is currently a professor emeritus of Florida Atlantic University. Faulkner has celebrated a career in physics of over five decades and has numerous publications in professional journals and articles. G M Stocks gained his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Sheffield and he is a corporate fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Stocks is a major developer of a number of first-principles electronic structure methods and has been published in numerous scientific publications. Yang Wang obtained his physics PhD from Florida Atlantic University and he is currently a senior computational scientist at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Centre. Notably, Wang developed a linear scaling quantum mechanical simulation code to study electronic and magnetic structures of metals and alloys.
