Computational chemical methods in solid-state physics

Computational chemical methods in solid-state physics refer to a variety of computational techniques used to study the properties and behavior of solid materials at the atomic and molecular levels. These methods are essential for understanding the structure, electronic properties, and dynamics of solids, as well as for predicting material behavior under different conditions. Here are some key points regarding these methods: ### 1. **Ab Initio Methods**: - These methods rely on quantum mechanics and do not require empirical parameters.
