Abstract

The densities of states and Fermi energies were accurately calculated from E(k) data obtained by the self‐consistent‐band Augmented Plane Wave (APW) method, using a quadratic energy expansion. The reliability of the Monte Carlo integration was investigated. It was sufficiently good to determine the anisotropy of the Fermi surface of lithium, sodium, and potassium.
