High-resolution (0.12 a.u.) CP of valence electrons in Zn measured along the ΓA direction (black circles), together with the corresponding theoretical KKR (red solid line) and DFT (blue solid line) calculations convoluted with a Gaussian of FWHM = 0.12 a.u. to mimic the resolution of the experimental data. Our previous data are plotted for comparison: orange squares, medium resolution 0.42 a.u. (Reniewicz et al., 2001), and green triangles, high resolution 0.16 a.u. (Bellin et al., 2004). The vertical blue dotted line shows the expected location of the Fermi momentum in Zn (pF = 0.83 a.u. as calculated within the framework of the free-electron model). All experimental uncertainties are smaller than the size of the points. The inset shows a closer look at the behaviour of the CPs in the vicinity of the Fermi momentum. |
