Band structure, cohesive energy, optical conductivity, and Compton profile of lithium
%. Y. Ching and J. Callaway
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803
(Received 4 March 1974)
A self-consistent calculation of energy bands in lithium has been performed using the
linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals (KAO) method. The basis set consisted of nine s-type, six p-type,
and three d-type Gaussian orbitals. Exchange was included according to the Xa method with a=2/3.
Results are presented for the band structure, Fermi-surface properties, cohesive energy, and the
Compton pro61e. The interband contribution to the optical conductivity was calculated including the k
variation of the momentum matrix elements. The distortions of the Fermi surface from spherical
symmetry are less than 4%. The optical and thermal effective-mass ratios are 1.48 and 1.53,
respectively. The onset of direct interband transitions is predicted to occur at 3.28 eV, The calculated
cohesive energy is 0.124 Ry.
