Scientific research topic

Electronic structure of crystalline solids

Abstract of scientific research topic

My main field of research is the electronic structure of crystalline solids. I work with all-electron methods rather than with pseudopotential schemes. For the last years I have been studying Nb-based Laves phase compounds. Recently, I took up interest in using the electron localization function (ELF) to study chemical bonding in crystals. I have implemented the ELF in the full-potential all-electron band structure method, FPLO. Currently, I am implementing the generalized- gradient-approximation (GGA) (the PBE 1996 functional) to the density functional theory in the FPLO package. Another current project is to include the spin-orbit interaction in FPLO-scheme as a variational step in addition to the full Dirac solution that is already implemented.
