Abstract
According to the electron theory of metals the energies of the possible stationary states of the electrons in a metal form a continuum; it is usual to denote by
N(E) dE
the number of such states with energies between
E
and
E+dE
per unit volume. In a metal at the absolute zero of temperature all states are occupied up to a maximum energy
E
=ζ
0
. It is the purpose of this note to discuss the quantity
N(E)
in connexion with the crystal structure, specific heat and X-ray absorption spectra of metals.
