Electronic structures and physical properties of pure aluminum metal

By one-atom theory, the electronic structure of pure Al metal with f. c. c. structure has been determined to be [Ne](3s c)1.8790 (3p c)0.4982 (3s f+3p f)0.6228. According to this electronic structure, the potential curve, lattice constant, cohesive energy, elastisity, and the temperature dependence of the linear thermal expansion coefficients have been calculated. The electronic structures and characteristic properties of Al metals with b. c. c., h. c. p. structures and liquid have been studied. It is argued that the pure Al metal with f. c. c. structure can exist naturally, but with b. c. c. and h. c. p. structures cannot.
