A method closely related to the classical augmented-plane-wave (APW) method is developed which treats in a nearly exact way the Hartree-Fock exchange in the case of crystals having deeply bound and filled valence bands. Band-structure calculations have been performed for solid neon and argon. The main conclusions of Lipari and Fowler for argon are confirmed:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
