Valence band structure in silver fluoride

Abstract
The present authors give calculations for the valence states of AgF using the LCAO method, in a way used previously by Bassani, Knox and Fowler (1965) for AgCl and AgBr. The exchange-correlation potential of Robinson, Bassani, Knox and Schrieffer (1962) is used. It is seen that the peculiar features of the AgF measurements can be understood since the Ag+4d valence band is found to lie above the F-2p valence band, and is hence the highest occupied band.
