Interfaces in Materials

This book covers a wide range of topics on work function and band alignment, from the basics to practical examples. Work function and band alignment determine electric properties at the interface including surfaces, such as electron emission, the Schottky barrier height, and ohmic contact.

Defects and impurities are critically influencing the properties of materials. Increase in computing power and the development of efficient algorithms indicate a promising future for computational defect science. This book surveys recent advances in electronic structure methods.
