Abstract
The electron momentum density is obtained, in the coherent potential approximation, for a substitutionally disordered binary alloy. The Hamiltonian of the single-band alloy is assumed to have, in the tight-binding representation, no off-diagonal disorder. The occupancies of the Bloch states, of the reference ordered Hamiltonian, are numerically evaluated for a BCC lattice with the off-diagonal part of the Hamiltonian having only nearest-neighbour-overlap terms. The results are presented for k along (100) and (111) directions.
