This book explains the observed trends in the bonding and structure
of molecules and solids within the models of 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. The chemically-intuitive Tight
Binding approximation provides a unified treatment of the covalent
bond in small molecules and extended solids, while the
physically-intuitive Nearly-Free Electron approximation provides a
natural description of the metallic bonds in sp-valent metals.
Unlike the conventional reciprocal-space formulation of band
theory, this modern real-space approach allows an immediate
understanding of the origin of structural trends within the
periodic table for the elements and the AB structure map for binary
compounds. Although this unique book is aimed primarily at
postgraduates in physics, chemistry, and materials science, a
chapter on basic quantum mechanical concepts is included for those
readers with little or no basic knowledge of the subject.
