Abstract
The electron charge density around an isolated Al nucleus in Al has been calculated self-consistently in the density functional formalism by incorporating the effect of the lattice structure through the spherical solid model. Ab initio pseudopotentials and interionic potentials were calculated from the induced charge densities. These results were used in the calculation of the binding energy of the electron, phonon dispersion curves and elastic constants. Comparison of these results with experiment and jellium theory, where lattice effects are ignored entirely, reveals the importance of multiion interaction, volume dependence and nonlocality on the interionic potentials and lattice properties.
