The local densities of electronic states in Ni and Cu thin films are calculated including the influence of the electron–phonon interaction on the hopping integrals. The model gives the dependence of the density of states on temperature. The results however are affected to some extent by the detailed form of the electron–phonon interaction adopted for the calculations.
