It is traditional for quantum theory of molecular systems
(molecular quantum chemistry) to describe the properties of a
many-atom system on the grounds of in- teratomic interactions
applying the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO)
approximation in the electronic-structure calculations. The basis
of the theory of the electronic structure of solids is the
periodicity of the crystalline potential and Bloch- type
one-electron states, in the majority of cases approximated by a
linear combina- tion of plane waves (LCPW). In a quantum chemistry
of solids the LCAO approach is extended to periodic systems and
modified in such a way that the periodicity of the potential is
correctly taken into account, but the language traditional for
chemistry is used when the interatornic interaction is analyzed to
explain the properties of the crystalline solids. At first, the
quantum chemistry of solids was considered simply as the
energy-band theory or the theory of the chemical bond in
tetrahedral semi-conductors . From the beginning of the 1970s the
use of powerful computer codes has become a common practice in
molecular quantum chemistry to predict many properties of molecules
in the first-principles LCAO calculations. In the condensed-matter
studies the accurate description of the system at an atomic scale
was much less advanced .
