Charge transfer effects in KNbO3 and sodium

Abstract
A new self-consistent atomic deformation model for calculating the electronic structure and total energy of condensed matter systems is described. Application of the model to KNbO3 suggests a fundamental relation between non-spherical oxygen ion deformations and charge transfer from oxygen to niobium. Application to sodium illustrates the idea of bonding enhancement in metals due to charge transfer.
