This book had its origins in lectures presented at EPFL, Lausanne, during two separate visits (the most recent being to IRRMA). In the 'course of this collaboration, he has taught me a great deal, especially about quantum Monte Carlo procedures, and Chapter 5 is based directly on this review article.

Applying a unified quantum approach, contributors offer fresh insights into the theoretical developments in the excitation energy transfer processes in condensed matter. This comprehensive volume examines Frenkel and Wannier excitonic processes; rates of excitonic processes; and polarons, excitonic polarons and self-trapping.

Reviews modern applications and aspects - including electron-photon-of non-equilibrium Green's functions for quantum transport in semiconductors.

The theory of the structure of liquids and liquid mixtures is then dealt with from the standpoint of, first, basic statistical mechanics and, subsequently, pair potentials constructed from the electron theory of simple metals and their alloys.

The Semiconducting Bond . Construction of the Localized X by Linear Combination of n Atomic Orbitals . The Aufbau-Principle of the Crystal Structure of Semiconductors . A Building Principle for Polyanionic Structures . Chemical Bonds and Semiconductivity in Transition-Element Compounds . Electronic Band Structure .

Density functional theory in the Local Density Approximation (LDA) has been shown to be a very accurate method for calculating ground state prop erties of electronic system. For static external fields, the induced moments are properties of the ground state.
