Conduction density of states

It was found that in this energy range, a follows the same behavior of the joint (valence -I- conduction) density of states. Thus, Eo, may be interpreted as a measure of the structural disorder [98], as it represents the inverse of band tail sharpness. 

With our normalization of the conduction states, the conduction density of states has been absorbed in Viz). We put the Fermi energy ef = 0, and assume that the conduction band extends between — B and B. ... 

Monnier et al. (1986) have studied YbP. They performed a band calculation in the LSD approximation. The band structure was parameterized in a linear combination of atomic orbital formalism. This allowed the extraction of the hopping matrix elements between the 4f state and the non-f bands. These values of were used in the Anderson model (1) and a V e) was generated. The F(e) has similarities with the conduction density of states p e), but it also has definite deviations from p(e). The value of Ej was chosen so that the model calculation gave the same value of Hf as the band calculation. In this approach both V e) and Ej were therefore...
