Electron Correlations in Molecules and Solids bridges the gap between quantum chemistry and solid-state theory. In the first half of the text new concepts are developed for treating many-body and correlation effects, combining standard quantum chemical methods with projection techniques, Greens-function methods and Monto-Carlo techniques. The second half deals with applications of the theory to molecules, semiconductors, transition metals, heavy fermion systems, and the new high-Tc superconducting materials.
Interesting to graduate students of solid-state theory or theoretical chemistry. It shows how the fields of quantum chemistry and solid-state theory can be combined to develop new methods of treating many-body and correlation effects in molecular and solid-state systems.
