7. 2 = 0 in ref. 4. Although the former expression and the present one appear different to each other, the electronic structures in both expressions are exactly the same so long as the spin-orbit interaction is not taken into account.

9. This is true for the case of SSDW states with an even p, which we premise in this paper. There is no symmetry with respect to up and down spins in the case of SSDW states with an odd P.

12. It can be considered that chromium has a less-than-half d band while fcc iron has a more-than-half one; an increase of the number of electrons at a certain site makes the magnitude of the local magnetic moment larger for a less-than-half d band and smaller for a more-than-half one.

14. 2 contributes to another energy gap near the point a (or b), which opens at the crossing of ε(κ - Q) and ε(κ - 2Q) (or at the crossing of ε(κ + Q) and ε(κ + 2Q)) of the nonmagnetic state.
