David Godfrey Pettifor
He was the author of a book entitled Bonding and Structure of Molecules and Solids (Oxford University Press).[5] He created "structure maps" which determine which crystal structure an alloy will form. He was a world authority on materials modelling and helped established the Oxford Materials Modelling Laboratory.
He held a
