The dependence of the energy bands of aluminum upon the parameter α in the Slater exchange is shown using the self‐consistent orthogonalized plane wave ( SCOPW ) method. Two fully self‐consistent calculations at different α's were performed. These calculations indicate that an a less than 1 should be chosen to obtain agreement with previous work.
