Solid State Physics of Finite Systems : Metal Clusters, Fullerenes, Atomic Wires /

Show other versions (1)

This book surveys the physics of the quantum, finite many-body systems that are the basis of nanostructures such as fullerenes and metal clusters. The ab initio techniques for describing the single-particle motion (electrons) and the collective degrees of freedom (plasmons and phonons), and their in...
