Which outcome occurs when attempting to model a metallic crystal's band structure utilizing density functional theory with the local-density approximation?

💡 Explanation

The band gap is underestimated because in density functional theory, the local-density approximation's exchange-correlation functional does not properly cancel self-interactions; therefore, energy levels are raised more than they should be, rather than maintaining accuracy due to error cancelation.
