This book explores the rich and unique quasiparticle properties of emergent materials through a VASP-based theoretical framework. It illustrates various quasiparticle phenomena and considers such emerging materials as zigzag nanotubes, nanoribbons, germanene, plumbene, bismuth chalcogenide insulators, and many others as well as applications.
