Insight in Many-Electron Theory from the Charge Density Wave Structure of Potassium

  • Conference paper
New Horizons of Quantum Chemistry

Part of the book series: International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science ((QUCH,volume 4))

Abstract

Approximations frequently employed to simplify fundamental treatments of the theory of metals can lead to qualitatively incorrect conclusions. A striking example is the broken translational symmetry of the ground state of metallic potassium. Experimental confirmation of its charge-density-wave structure is reviewed. Such a structure cannot occur if local-density approximations to exchange and correlation are employed, or if Coulomb potentials are replaced by screened interactions.
