A method for solving the Fermi-Thomas and Fermi-Thomas-Dirac equations for crystals is presented. The results of computing the electronic density of copper by this method are given together with those attained from the application of the spherical approximation to the Wigner-Seitz cell. Also presented are the results of cohesive energy calculations for copper, which with the inclusion of the correlation effect predict stability but only about one-third of the observed value.
