The band structure of hexagonal close-packed metals II. Sc, Ti, Y and Zr

Abstract

The band structures, density-of-states curves and Fermi surfaces are presented for the hexagonal close-packed configurations of Sc, Ti, Y and Zr, as calculated by the cellular method. A study is made of the effect of the potential field on the band structure and Fermi surfaces of Ti. Heat capacities and bandwidths are discussed.
