The book "The LMTO Method: Muffin-Tin Orbitals and Electronic Structure" by Dr. Hans L. Skriver, published by Springer-Verlag in 1984, provides a comprehensive description of the Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital (LMTO) method, a linear method for band-structure calculations in solid-state physics. The author aims to bridge the gap between the physical content of linear methods and their computational efficiency, making the technique accessible to non-specialists. The book includes a set of computer programs that allow users to perform full-scale self-consistent band-structure calculations using the LMTO method. It also provides a listing of self-consistent potential parameters for generating energy bands of metallic elements. The content covers the introduction to linear methods, canonical band theory, one-electron states in a single sphere, physically significant parameters, the linear method, the atomic-sphere approximation (ASA), ground-state properties, and many atoms per cell. The book is part of the Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences and is edited by Manuel Cardona, Peter Fulde, and Hans-Joachim Queisser.The book "The LMTO Method: Muffin-Tin Orbitals and Electronic Structure" by Dr. Hans L.
