The development of the modern theory of metals and alloys has
coincided with great advances in quantum-mechanical many-body
theory, in electronic structure calculations, in theories of
lattice dynamics and of the configura tional thermodynamics of
crystals, in liquid-state theory, and in the theory of phase
transformations. For a long time all these different fields
expanded quite independently, but now their overlap has become
sufficiently large that they are beginning to form the basis of a
comprehensive first-principles the ory of the cohesive, structural,
and thermodynamical properties of metals and alloys in the
crystalline as well as in the liquid state. Today, we can set out
from the quantum-mechanical many-body Hamiltonian of the system of
electrons and ions, and, following the path laid out by generations
of the oreticians, we can progress far enough to calculate a
pressure-temperature phase diagram of a metal or a
composition-temperature phase diagram of a binary alloy by methods
which are essentially rigorous and from first prin ciples. This
book was written with the intention of confronting the materials
scientist, the metallurgist, the physical chemist, but also the
experimen tal and theoretical condensed-matter physicist, with this
new and exciting possibility. Of course there are limitations to
such a vast undertaking as this. The selection of the theories and
techniques to be discussed, as well as the way in which they are
presented, are necessarily biased by personal inclination and
personal expertise."
