Systematically imrpovable quantum chemistry for crystalline solids

This thesis describes the development of a scheme for applying wavefunction-based quantum chemistry techniques to crystalline solids: the hierarchical method. The hierarchical method was first proposed by Manby, Gillan and Alfe [1] for cubic crystals. The contribution of electron correlation to the...
