Structure-Induced Covalent Bonding in Al-Li Compounds
Structure-Induced Covalent Bonding in Al-Li Compounds is a scholarly work, published in 2010 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include chemical physics, covalent bond, main group, materials science, electronic structure, electron, condensed matter physics, crystallography, chemical bond, Pseudogap, covalent network solid, Isostructural, quasicrystal, intermetallic, crystal structure, density functional theory, and density of states. Formation mechanism of a deep pseudogap in the electronic density of states of the Al-Li Bergman and Zintl compounds is discussed with an emphasis on the differences among isostructural Al-Mg compounds.
