Quantum chemistry and solid-state theory are two important
related fields ofresearch that have grown up with almost no
cross communication. This book brdges the gap between the
two. In the first half, new concepts for treatingweak and
strong correlations are developed, and standard quantum
chemical methods as well as denisty functional integral, and
Monte Carlo methods are discussed. The second half discusses
applications of the theory to molecules, semiconductors,
homogeneous metallic systems, transition metals, and
strongly correlated systems such as heavy-fermion systems
and the new high-T superconducting materials.
This text will be of interest to graduate students of solid-state theory or theoretical chemistry. It shows how these two fields of study can be combined to develop new methods of treating many-body and correlation effects in molecular and solid-state systems.
