Abstract

In a previous publication we derived a criterion for defining interatomic surfaces in condensed systems based on the zero flux surface (ZFS) of the electronic wavefunction's gradient which holds the condition of flux zero at every point. Here this criterion is examined and physical as well as mathematical properties are illustrated and discussed; in the light of this discussion we conclude that the definition illustrated in this work represents a natural extension of Bader's definition of atoms in molecules.
