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
San Tin the area. The Man clan decided to settle in the area in the 15th century. They dried the marshes and gradually filled them with soil, turning them into 800 hectare of rice paddies. This is reflected by the name San Tin, which means "new field"s. The San Tin areas are divided into nine villages within the area most notable areas are Wing Ping Tsuen (), which is close to the Tai Fu Tai Mansion, and Fan Tin Tsuen (). The areas around San Tin are covered in wetlands hence their main products are cabbages (like Chinese cabbage or kai-lan) and
