Abstract
Material properties of solids have values which— for a given structure and bond–type (defining a ‘class’ of solid)— lie within broadly defined ranges, characteristic of the class. Beyond this, correlations exist between the values of mechanical, thermal, electrical and other properties which derive from the underlying physics of bonding and packing of atoms in the material. Some of these correlations have a simple theoretical basis and can be expressed as dimensionless groups with much narrower value ranges; they allow a physically based consistency check on property values and allow some properties to be estimated when values for others are known. Others, empirical at this stage, can be found by an appropriate search routine; they, too, can be used to estimate missing properties, and to assign a reliability range to the estimates.Keywords
