LSM was investigated both theoretically [751,752] and experimentally [753] with a focus on the chemical-bonding nature, magnetic properties, metal-insulator transitions, structural transformations and surface properties. 

Small metal clusters are also of interest because of their importance in catalysis. Despite the fact that small clusters should consist of mostly surface atoms, measurement of the photon ionization threshold for Hg clusters suggest that a transition from van der Waals to metallic properties occurs in the range of 20-70 atoms per cluster [88] and near-bulk magnetic properties are expected for Ni, Pd, and Pt clusters of only 13 atoms [89] Theoretical calculations on Sin and other semiconductors predict that the stmcture reflects the bulk lattice for 1000 atoms but the bulk electronic wave functions are not obtained [90]. Bartell and co-workers [91] study beams of molecular clusters with electron dirfraction and molecular dynamics simulations and find new phases not observed in the bulk. Bulk models appear to be valid for their clusters of several thousand atoms (see Section IX-3).

Within the periodic Hartree-Fock approach it is possible to incorporate many of the variants that we have discussed, such as LFHF or RHF. Density functional theory can also be used. I his makes it possible to compare the results obtained from these variants. Whilst density functional theory is more widely used for solid-state applications, there are certain types of problem that are currently more amenable to the Hartree-Fock method. Of particular ii. Icvance here are systems containing unpaired electrons, two recent examples being the clci tronic and magnetic properties of nickel oxide and alkaline earth oxides doped with alkali metal ions (Li in CaO) [Dovesi et al. 2000]. 

Pure holmium has a metallic to bright silver luster. It is relatively soft and malleable, and is stable in dry air at room temperature, but rapidly oxidizes in moist air and at elevated temperatures. The metal has unusual magnetic properties. Few uses have yet been found for the element. The element, as with other rare earths, seems to have a low acute toxic rating. 

Interest is maintained ia these materials because of the combination of mechanical, corrosion, electric, and magnetic properties. However, it is their ferromagnetic properties that lead to the principal appHcation of glassy metals. The soft magnetic properties and remarkably low coercivity offer tremendous opportunities for this appHcation (see Magnetic materials, bulk Magnetic materials, thin film).

The magnetic properties of ferrites are intricately related to composition, microstmcture, and processing much more so than in the case of metals primarily because of the complex chemistry of the oxides and because of the ceramic processing requited to produce the finished parts. 

XPS has been used in almost every area in which the properties of surfaces are important. The most prominent areas can be deduced from conferences on surface analysis, especially from ECASIA, which is held every two years. These areas are adhesion, biomaterials, catalysis, ceramics and glasses, corrosion, environmental problems, magnetic materials, metals, micro- and optoelectronics, nanomaterials, polymers and composite materials, superconductors, thin films and coatings, and tribology and wear. The contributions to these conferences are also representative of actual surface-analytical problems and studies [2.33 a,b]. A few examples from the areas mentioned above are given below more comprehensive discussions of the applications of XPS are given elsewhere [1.1,1.3-1.9, 2.34—2.39].

In view of this apparent contradictory outcome from the transport and magnetic properties, we were motivated to investigate the dynamics of the charge excitation spectrum by optical methods. In fact, the optical measurement is a powerful contactless experimental tool which should in principle allow to unfold the disagreement between and p(7 since the optical response of a metal... 

In his valence bond theory (VB), L. Pauling extended the idea of electron-pair donation by considering the orbitals of the metal which would be needed to accommodate them, and the stereochemical consequences of their hybridization (1931-3). He was thereby able to account for much that was known in the 1930s about the stereochemistry and kinetic behaviour of complexes, and demonstrated the diagnostic value of measuring their magnetic properties. Unfortunately the theory offers no satisfactory explanation of spectroscopic properties and so was... 

Apart from TiO and the lower halides already mentioned, the chemistry of these metals in oxidation states lower than 3 is not well established. Addition compounds of the type [TiCl2L2] can be formed with difficulty with ligands such as dimethylformamide and acetonitrile, but their magnetic properties suggest that they also are polymeric with appreciable metal-metal bonding. However, the electronic spectra of Ti in TiCl2/AlCl3 melts and also of Ti incorporated in NaCl crystals (prepared by...
