Download or read book Electronic Excitations at Metal Surfaces written by Ansgar Liebsch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-07-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses recent advances in describing electronic surface excitation using time-dependent local density approximation, which is preferred because it provides a rather accurate method for describing ground-state properties of electronic systems, and treats the dynamical response in a manner consistent with the one employed for the ground state.
