Wannier Functions and Self-Consistent Metal Calculations.

Abstract

It is shown how, with the help of the density functional formalism and moment techniques, a self-consistent calculation for a metal can be carried out entirely in terms of Wannier functions, without recourse to the eigenfunctions. The applicability of this approach to metals with or without impruities, disorder, surfaces, ad-atoms, etc. is briefly discussed. (Author)
