The main feature of the present recalculation of the band structure is a careful consideration of the potential on which it is based. An effective potential acting on a conduction electron is defined intuitively so as to include the effects of correlation and exchange. This grafts the Bohm & Pines theory of a free-electron gas (Pines 1955) on to the Hartree—Fock treatment of the effect of the ion cores. Correlation and exchange effects among the conduction and ion-core electrons have been calculated, and the variation of the potential in the regions about half-way between the atoms has also been calculated and taken into account. Achieving self-consistency in the contribution to the potential due to the conduction electrons has not been difficult. Because of various approximations, including those in the potential, the calculated energy values are judged to be correct to about 0·03 Ry. The results are found to agree satisfactorily with the model of the band structure obtained in I by noting that the effective Fermi level for electrons and holes in the band structure may not be the same due to additional correlation effects.

In this proceedings paper we report on a calculation of graphene's Landau levels in a magnetic field. Our calculations are based on a self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation for graphene's massless-Dirac continuum model. We find that because of graphene's chiral band structure interactions not only shift Landau-level energies, as in a non-relativistic electron gas, but also alter Landau level wavefunctions. We comment on the subtle continuum model regularization procedure necessary to correctly maintain the lattice-model's particle hole symmetry properties.

It is possible to reproduce the entire results of Pekeris et al. of different atomic parameters for the He atom by introducing (ll) type correlation in a self consistent variation perturbation procedure using the Hartree-Fock (HF) wavefunction as the zero-order wavefunction

In this paper we report on electron momentum densities in ZnSe using Compton scattering technique. For the directional measurements we have employed a newly developed 100 mCi 241Am Compton spectrometer which is based on a small disc source with shortest geometry. For the theoretical calculations we have employed a self-consistent Hartree-Fock linear combination of atomic orbitals (HF-LCAO) approach. It is seen that the anisotropy in the measured Compton profiles is well reproduced by our HF-LCAOcalculation and the other available pseudopotential data. The anisotropy in the Compton profiles is explained in terms of energy bands and bond length. - PACS numbers: 13.60.Fz, 78.70. Ck, 78.70.-g
