Pearce, Richard Pattrick, David J. VaughanSchool of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, and Williamson Research Centre for Molecular Environmental ScienceUniversity of ManchesterManchester, United Kingdome-mail: metal sulfi des exhibit a great diversity of electrical and magnetic properties with both scientifi c interest and practical applications. These properties apply major constraints on mod-els of the electronic structure (or chemical bonding) in sulfi des (Vaughan and Rosso 2006, this volume).
