Abstract
This paper describes a procedure for the calculation of electron energy bands in certain solids from spectroscopic data for the corresponding free atom. This method is an improved version of one used by Kuhn and Van Vleck to calculate the energy bands of sodium, potassium, and rubidium. It avoids explicit construction of a one-electron potential to represent the interaction between the valence and core electrons.Keywords
