Abstract
The two parameters, width and position of the d-bands of the noble — and transition metals respond sensitively to the choice of potential. In a series of preliminary APW calculations for silver1 16 different potentials were constructed, and the corresponding band structures were compared to results of experimental work on optical properties and Fermi surface properties. The potentials examined were based on atomic orbitals obtained from Hartree-Fock, Hartree-Fock-Slater, and Dirac-Slater calculations. The amount of Slater-exchange was varied parametrically. Also Gaspar potentials with various exchange weights were included in this study.
