Measurements of the electronic specific heat coefficient and of the limiting Debye temperature are reported for pure zinc and for two n-phase alloys containing 2 at. % and 4 at. % silver in zinc, respectively. After a correction for electron-phonon enhancement the electronic specific heat coefficient for pure zinc differs by only a small percentage from the calculated value reported in the literature on the basis of a band calculation. The results for the alloys show a decreasing trend of the density of states at the Fermi level when silver is added to zinc. This is contrary to a prediction based on a rigid band approach. Hence, the results indicate a complete breakdown of the rigid band condition on alloying. The reasons for this are most likely associated with the influence of the d band electrons or with charge distribution effects between solute and solvent atoms.

The spherical cell, OPW, and APW methods for the determination of the direct hyperfine contact density PFd are compared by means of explicit calculations for lithium metal. Serious deficiencies of the first two methods are discussed. In particular the OPW method is found to converge very slowly for the absolute value of PFd, although it predicts relative changes in PFd due to changes in atomic volume reasonably well. The Fermi level density of states, another quantity which affects the Knight shift, is also considered.
