Abstract

A self energy approach directly taking into account the many-body nature of the electron-electron interaction is described which gives an excellent account of the quasiparticle band energies in semiconductors and insulators. The self energy approach provides a crucial link between structural models and spectroscopic probes of materials systems. Applications to bulk semiconductors, semiconductor surfaces and short period superlattices are described. A model for the screened Coulomb interaction can reduce the amount of computation required. Applicability of bulk self energy results to more complex systems, e.g. surfaces, is discussed.
