Resumen

We present the statistical analysis of the energy band structures of the Si and Eu crystals. This analysis was done to determine whether Eu manifests quantum chaology or not in its energy spectrum in the same way that Si does. This analysis gives further insight into the possible effects that the f orbitals have on the band spacing distribution such as the strong on-site Coulomb interactions. Furthermore, Hubbards U parameter proved to be an important factor in the correction of the model in order to obtain a more accurate calculation of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional. We find that our results for Si are in good agreement with those of Mucciolo et al. The results for Eu do not agree with those of Mucciolo et al. and are analyzed more thoroughly with velocity distributions.
