With a history that reaches back some 90 years, the Hume-Rothery
rules were developed to provide guiding principles in the search
for new alloys. Ultimately, the rules bridged metallurgy,
crystallography, and physics in a way that led to the emergence of
a physics of the solid state in 1930s, although the physical
implications of the rules were never fully resolved. Even today,
despite a revived interest brought about by the 1984 discovery of
quasicrystals, much about the rules remains an enigma. Now almost a
century after the rules were put forward, Hume-Rothery Rules for
Structurally Complex Alloy Phases provides researchers with an
insightful and applicable interpretation of the Hume-Rothery
electron concentration rule. Invoking first-principle band
calculations, the book emphasizes the stability of structurally
complex metallic alloys (CMAs).Written by Uichiro Mizutani, long
considered the most knowledgeable expert on both the history and
science of Hume-Rothery, this seminal work - Offers a unified
interpretation of phase stabilization mechanism of CMAs in
different classes Explains how to determine the effective valency
of transition metal elements Details establishment of
d-states-mediated-FsBz interactions in strongly orbital-hybridizing
systems Covers the contrast between e/a and VEC, two notions of
electron concentration parameters and includes a way to
differentiate between them in designing new alloys Explores
strengths and shortcomings for the theory on alloy phase stability
Discusses the latest take on electron concentration for gamma-brass
This work summarizes the ongoing history of Hume-Rothery and
reflects the theoretical studies that Professor Mizutani embarked
upon to gain deeper understanding of the basic physics behind
stabilizing effects related to electron concentration. It describes

This text presents a complete account of electron theory in both periodic and nonperiodic metallic systems. The author's accessible approach allows for comparisons with experimental results as much as possible. The book starts with the basics of one-electron band theory and progresses to cover high Tc superconductors and quasicrystals. The relationship between theory and potential applications is also emphasized. The material assumes some knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics as well as the principles of classical mechanics and electromagnetism. Numerous exercises and an extensive list of references and numerical data are key features.
