The density of states (DOS) were calculated with EHMO method using the following atomic parameters: Li: Hii(2s) = -5.4 eV, ζ(2s) = 0.65, Hii(2p) = -3.5 eV, ζ(2p) = 0.65; Sr: Hii(5s) = -6.62 eV, ζ(5s) = 1.214, Hii(5p) = -3.92 eV, ζ(5p) = 1.214; Si: Hii(3s) = -17.3 eV, ζ(3s) = 1.383, Hii(3p) = -9.2 eV, ζ(3p) = 1.383.
