Abstract

In this chapter, we derive a general expression for the Green function corresponding to a one-electron problem solved within the atomic sphere approximation. On the basis of this Green function formalism, methods for an efficient treatment of systems with two-dimensional translational symmetry are described: the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method, a technique of principal layers and surface Green functions, and concepts in order to calculate important physical observables.
