  9. Electronic structurefor T>0 • Pragmaticapproach: • Temperature-dependentlatticeparameters • Temperaturesmearingtodetermine Fermi energy • Vibrationaleffectsignored • Beyondthat: • Quasi-harmonicapproximationtolatticeexpansion • Renormalizationandmanybodyeffects in electronic bands • Impact on opticalexciations … • Impact on transport …
