Based on a previously developed theoretical scheme for the treatment of multiple scattering in dense disordered media, the dispersion relation for the effective medium is evaluated numerically. The result is employed to determine the electronic density of states for two non‐crystalline transition metals. The theory yields satisfactory results for the width of the d‐band and for the total number of states in the d‐band.
