Bulk band structure of chromium

Abstract
The bulk band structure of paramagnetic chromium, calculated with use of the linear augmented plane-wave method, is presented and discussed. The calculated band structure is used for interpreting the data obtained in angle-resolved photoemission experiments carried out on Cr(110). Experimentally determined band locations and dispersions are found to agree fairly well with the theoretically predicted values. Calculations of the photocurrent-simulating recorded photoemission spectra have also been made with the use of two different methods, and these results are presented and discussed.
