Abstract
The band energy of silver has been calculated by the composite wave variational method at the symmetry points Γ X and L of the Brilloun zone, using the quantum defect method to find out the logarithmic derivatives of the radial wave functions inside the atomic cell. The results show that the p states at the zone faces are below the s states, and the band gap obtained at the zone face L is not sufficient for the Fermi surface to make a contact with the zone face L.Keywords
