This book explains the observed trends in the bonding and structure of molecules and solids within the framework of simple but predictive models that are based on the modern real-space approach to the electronic structure. Emphasis is placed throughout on recent theoretical developments that link structural stability to the local topology or connectivity of the lattice through the moments of the electronic density of states. It is directed at final year undergraduates and first year...
More DescriptionThis book explains the observed trends in the bonding and structure of molecules and solids within the framework of simple but predictive models that are based on the modern real-space approach to the electronic structure. Emphasis is placed throughout on recent theoretical developments that link structural stability to the local topology or connectivity of the lattice through the moments of the electronic density of states. It is directed at final year undergraduates and first year postgraduates in physics, chemistry, and materials science.
