Computation of the band structure and Fermi surface of lithium based on the use of a model potential

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The band structure, the Fermi surface and the density of states of the conductivity band of lithium are computed on the basis of a model potential in the form of sphericall-dependent wells. A comparison between the suggested and other methods of computation is made, and the usefulness of the former for computing the basic physical characteristics of the electron gas in lithium is pointed out.
