The Brooks‐Yu formalism for calculating the electronic properties of crystals at finite temperature has been generalized to a multiple scattering series based ont‐matrices rather than pseudo‐potentials. The resulting expression leads both to shifts in the electronic eigenvalues and damping of the eigenstates as a function of temperature. As a model of structurally disordered metals, this viewpoint overestimates the local atomic correlations in contrast to theories which include only two particle correlation functions. Calculations for Al and Cu at their melting temperatures are discussed.
