Wannier function — The Wannier functions are a complete set of orthogonal functions used in solid state physics. They were introduced by Gregory Wannier. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.52.191 The structure of electronic excitation levels in insulating crystals … Wikipedia
Work function — In solid state physics, the work function is the minimum energy (usually measured in electron volts) needed to remove an electron from a solid to a point immediately outside the solid surface (or energy needed to move an electron from the Fermi… … Wikipedia
Zeta function regularization — In mathematics and theoretical physics, zeta function regularization is a type of regularization or summability method that assigns finite values to superficially divergent sums. The technique is now commonly applied to problems in physics, but… … Wikipedia
