Distribution of electron states in monovalent metals

Abstract
A simple prescription is given for calculating densities of states in arbitrary monovalent alloys maintained at fairly arbitrary volumes. In the cases of the pure metals, where comparison with experiment and other theoretical work is possible, satisfactory results are obtained for interpretation of the soft x-ray emission spectra and the Fermi level effective masses. The results are obtained using first-order perturbation theory and non-local pseudopotentials and suggest that non-locality is an essential feature of realistic calculations.
