Abstract
We consider a cluster of muffin-tin potentials, embedded in a homogeneous but energy dependent effective medium. The effective medium. The effective medium is determined from a generalized Wigner-Seitz condition. The multiple scattering within the cluster is taken into account in the atomic sphere approximation. Numerical results for the density of states in expanded liquid mercury are presented. The results show at low densities a gap between the 6s and 6p states in good agreement with band structure calculations for hypothetical crystalline structures.
