Local Theory of Electronic Structure of Extended Systems.

Abstract

A theory of local electronic structure is presented which yields the local density of states n(r,E) and related quantities. The theory applies whether the electronic wave functions themselves are delocalized or not and requires a knowledge of the Hamiltonian only in the vicinity of r. Several simple examples are worked out with good results. Possible applications include periodic and non-periodic transition metal systems and large molecules.
