On the Cover

Bond charge density plot of a 90% nickel-10% aluminum alloy, (red: high electron density; blue: low electron density; dashed circles correspond to nickel atoms in the next layer). Also shown to the right are the relaxation and splitting of layers due to the presence of the larger aluminum atoms.
