The contemporary ideas about the theory of atomic properties of metals arereviewed in this book. This theory is based upon concepts of pseudopotentialand interacting electrons and is used for quantitative description of the wholecomplex of atomic properties of perfect simple metals. The authors have triedto maintain the consonance of the theoretical description of metal propertieswith computer experiment. A welladvanced theory with many new developments ispresented as well as simple and wellknown theoretical approaches necessaryfor computer calculation. The background of the theory of atomic properties ofcrystals is addressed alongside the theory of pseudopotential formfactor inmetals and the linear screening theory. This book will be useful forspecialists in the theory and computer simulation of properties of solids. «
