摘要
The electron-density distribution in CaNi(2)Sh(2) has been analysed by means of x-ray diffraction measurements and a full-potential augmented-plane-wave band-structure calculation. The agreement between experiment and theory is good, considering the difficulty of the experiment. A Si-Si bonding interaction is clearly observed in the valence electron distribution as well as a preferred occupation of the Ni 3d orbitals.
