Muffin-tin approximation Muffin-tin approximation The muffin-tin approximation is a shape approximation of the potential well in an crystal lattice. It is most commonly employed in quantum mechanical simulations of the electronic band structure in solids. The approximation was proposed by John C. Slater. Augmented plane wave method (APW) is a method which uses muffin-tin approximation. It is a method to approximate the energy states of an electron in a crystal lattice. The basic approximation lies in the potential in which the potential is assumed to be spherically symmetric in the muffin-tin region and constant in the interstitial region. Wave functions (the augmented
My Gift Is You says: "Don't need no money. Don't need a thing / I don't even need a wedding ring / All I need is love and the truth / And I got it, my gift is you". In these lyrics, Stefani "disregards material possessions [in favor of] Christmas" and "flaunts her newfound love with [Shelton]". "My Gift Is You" was selected as a standout track by several music critics. Sal Cinquemani from "Slant Magazine" singled out the track as a highlight on "You Make It Feel Like Christmas", describing it as "Stefani's obligatory entry in the canon of contemporary holiday songs in
