Theoretical studies will be performed with new                                  theoretical/computational capabilities which have been developed                for investigating the electronic structure and properties of                    complex solids and surfaces within local density functional                     theory.  Our total energy full potential linearized augmented                   plane wave (FLAPW) approach for thin films and bulk solids will                 be applied to (i) the study of the structural, electronic and                   magnetic properties of transition metal and rare-earth metal                    surfaces and (ii) the determination of the electronic structure                 and properties of the high temperature superconductors.  These                  latter results will be used as a starting point for developing a                quantitative theory of excitonic superconductivity.  The studies                in (i) and (ii) will be undertaken in collaboration with (and                   support of) the research efforts being carried out by a number                  of experimental groups.  In addition, they propose to employ the                formal properties of a Hamiltonian with periodic potential which                they have recently obtained to develop a practical computational                method (based on a reformulation of the variable phase method in                terms of the Coulomb functions)  to be used in band calculations                for bulk solids and to treat impurities, surface and phonons.
