Abstract A microscopic theory of solids is presented which allows the calculation of lattice properties from first principles. The method is based on the Density-Functional-Theory and a new version of the Linear-Muffin-Tin-Orbital method, which includes nonspherical charge distributions in the total energy calculations. Explicit results for BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 are reported. The deformations of the charge density due to a homogeneous volume change and due to a soft mode deformation were determined. Differences between BaTiO and SrTiO3 and the nature of the chemical bonding are discussed. Calculated cohesive energies and lattice constants agree well with experimental data.
