Does anybody know how Green's function can be used to calculate the charge density of state?
Thanks

Physics news on Phys.org
In Phys. Rev. B, 66, 165421 (2002) by Nieminen
they state that rho = - 1/pi Im(G°), without explanation and in
Phys. Rev. B 60, Number 4 (1999) also by Nieminen:
delta rho = -2/pi I am (int (delta G dE))
There must be a way to derive the density of state by Green's functions.
 
This is really an application of Green' functions to physics. I'm going to move it to a physics area.
