Abstract

The electronic structure of corundum (α-Al2O3) is calculated at the ab initio Hartree-Fock level. Cohesive energy, total and projected densities of states, atomic multipoles, bond populations and electron charge density distribution maps are given. The oxygen-aluminium bond is found to be partially covalent in nature; the atomic charges are -0.73 e and +1.09 e for O and Al respectively.
