First-principle electronic structure calculations within real-space mesh framework: Applications to atoms, molecules and nanostructures

This dissertation is organized as follows. Beginning with physical background discussions of many-body problems, Chapter 1 introduces the central Kohn-Sham equations of Density Functional Theory for electronic structure calculations. In order to discretize the system, the real-space mesh techniques...
