Conduction-band energyV0of an excess electron in liquid krypton

Abstract
The conduction-band energy V0 of excess electrons in liquid krypton is calculated as a function of number density n. Our model follows the prescription of Springett, Jortner, and Cohen [J. Chem. Phys. 48, 2720 (1968)] but avoids some of their approximations. In particular, a proper, high-precision atomic pseudopotential is used to represent the electron-krypton interaction. The theoretical values of V0(n) are found to be in excellent agreement with experimental data.
