Abstract
Radii for constant-energy surfaces corresponding to 561 directions in 1/48 of the Brillouin zone are calculated for a number of energy values for each of four different potential functions that were generated by different methods to describe the electronic states of aluminum. The radii are all calculated using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method for first-principles band-theory calculations. These surfaces are used to find the Fermi energies for the potentials very accurately, and to compare the predicted Fermi surfaces.Keywords
