Statistical Exchange-Correlation in the Self-Consistent Field

TL;DR: The main point of the method of Gaspar, Kohn, and Sham is that they derived the approximate exchange correction from an approximate Hamiltonian for the system by varying the spin-orbitals to minimize the average value of this Hamiltonians for the ground state as discussed by the authors.

Far-Ultraviolet Reflectance Spectra and the Electronic Structure of Ionic Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the normal-incidence reflectance spectra of a number of ionic crystals in the photon energy range (6 \mathrm{eV}l\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensureMath{\omega}l36 \mathm{e V}$ for temperatures between 90 and 400 degrees.

Hole Centers in Halide Lattices

TL;DR: In the case of hole centers, the behavior is dominated by an unoccupied level in the gap, an acceptor level as mentioned in this paper, which is the donor level in semiconductor terminology.

A Simplification of the Hartree-Fock Method

TL;DR: In this article, the Hartree-Fock equations can be regarded as ordinary Schrodinger equations for the motion of electrons, each electron moving in a slightly different potential field, which is computed by electrostatics from all the charges of the system, positive and negative, corrected by the removal of an exchange charge, equal in magnitude to one electron, surrounding the electron whose motion is being investigated.

The Motion of Slow Electrons in a Polar Crystal

TL;DR: In this paper, a variational technique was developed to investigate the low-lying energy levels of a conduction electron in a polar crystal, which is equivalent to a simple canonical transformation, and the use of this transformation enables us to obtain the wave functions and energy levels quite simply.

Theory of Brillouin Zones and Symmetry Properties of Wave Functions in Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of finding the Brillouin zones is studied from the point of view of group theory, where a representation of the symmetry group is associated with the underlying problem.
