Abstract

It is shown that the choice of electron density parameter rs, based on the electron density in the interstitial region, leads to a universal correlation between annihilation rate ( lambda ) and rs for all metals, known previously only for simple (sp) metals. This new choice of rs also gives a lower momentum dependence of the enhancement factor in Cu, as is required by experiment.
