The band structure of metallic actinides from Am to Es is calculated b
y the LAPW method taking into account spin-orbit interaction and core
relaxation. Densities of states, Fermi energies, densities of states a
t the Fermi level, and effective charges within MT-spheres are found f
or metals with face-centered-cubic (fcc) structures. The nature of the
change of physicochemical properties along the series is discussed.
