Abstract
The concept “density of states” can be given many different meanings when we go beyond the one-electron approximation. In this survey we concentrate on the definition tied to excitation processes, where one electron is added or removed from the solid. We discuss the one-particle spectral function for conduction and core electrons in metals, how it can be approximately calculated, and how it can be related to different types of experiments like x-ray photoemission, x-ray emission and absorption, photoemission and optical absorption in the ultraviolet, and the Compton effect. We also discuss the form of the exchange-correlation potential for use in band structure calculations.Keywords
