Abstract (2. Language): 
The linear-muffin-tin-orbital method within the local density approximation is used to calculate the total-energies, partial occupation numbers and density of states for aluminum as a function of reduced atomic volume. It is concluded that p→d electron transfer constitutes the driving force for the fcc→hcp transition in Al.
