This book provides an intuitive yet sound understanding of how
structure and properties of solids may be related. The natural link
is provided by the band theory approach to the electronic structure
of solids. The chemically insightful concept of orbital interaction
and the essential machinery of band theory are used throughout the
book to build links between the crystal and electronic structure of
periodic systems. In such a way, it is shown how important tools
for understanding properties of solids like the density of states,
the Fermi surface etc. can be qualitatively sketched and used to
either understand the results of quantitative calculations or to
rationalize experimental observations. Extensive use of the orbital
interaction approach appears to be a very efficient way of building
bridges between physically and chemically based notions to
understand the structure and properties of solids.
