Abstract

Interatomic Green functions are computed here for transition metals using a real space technique, namely the recursion method. The results for the case of the FCC structure are compared to those derived from band structure calculations using a k-space technique, namely the tetrahedron method. We show here that the agreement between both calculations is as good as for usual intra-atomic Green functions. In this last case, we show that, provided that a sufficient number of exact coefficients are calculated, the densities of states reconstructed by continued fraction techniques are almost indistinguishable from those obtained from band structure calculations Calcul par une technique d'espace reel: la methode de recursion. On compare les resultats pour les metaux cubiques a faces centrees a ceux que l'on peut tirer des calculs de bande par une technique d'espace des k: la methode des tetraedres. L'accord est aussi bon que dans le cas des fonctions de Green intra-atomiques usuelles. On montre de plus, dans ce dernier cas, que les densites d'etat reconstruites sous forme de fractions continues et celles deduites des calculs de bande sont quasiment indiscernables pour peu qu'on ait calcule un nombre suffisamment grand de coefficients exacts
