in a periodic potential: Bloch’s theorem 2.1 Introduction and health warning We are going to set up the formalism for dealing with a periodic potential; this is known as Bloch’s theorem. The next two-three lectures are going to appear to be hard work from a conceptual point of view.

The student has a thorough understanding of concepts such as Bloch's theorem, the in magnetic field, periodic potentials, scattering theory, identical particles. The Ehrenfest theorem; Heisenberg's uncertainty principle forces due to the Pauli principle. Periodic potentials and application to solids. Bloch functions is used to describe the behavior of electrons in a one-dimensional potential. bands in both periodic (crystalline) and aperiodic (non-crystalline) materials. and Bloch's theorem, the determination of electronic band structure using the reduction, which has a redox potential in fair agreement with the In this sense, the Bloch theorem a non-periodic environment.

V(x) Such a periodic potential can be modelled by a Dirac comb Bloch theorem: eigenfunctions of an electron in a perfectly periodic potential have the shape of plane waves modulated with a Bloch factor that possess the periodicity of the potential Electronic band structure is material-specific and illustrates all possible electronic states. Bloch’s theorem – The concept of lattice momentum – The wave function is a superposition of plane-wave states with momenta which are different by reciprocal lattice vectors – Periodic band structure in k-space – Short-range varying potential → extra degrees of freedom → discrete energy bands – Problem Set 3: Bloch’s theorem, Kronig-Penney model Exercise 1 Bloch’s theorem In the lecture we proved Bloch’s theorem, stating that single particle eigenfunctions of elec-trons in a periodic (lattice) potential can always be written in the form k(r) = 1 p V eik ru k(r) (1) with a lattice periodic Bloch factor u k(r+R) = u k(r). Bloch’s Theorem ‘When I started to think about it, I felt that the main problem was to explain how the electrons could sneak by all the ions in a metal…. By straight Fourier analysis I found to my delight that the wave differed from the plane wave of free electrons only by a periodic modulation’ F. BLOCH Bloch’s theorem in periodic potential Bloch’s theorem plays a very important role in the solution of the wave function in a crystal. Here we will use two methods to introduce the Bloch’s theorem; (a) through symmetry analysis, and (b) through Fourier analysis. Using symmetry analysis, the process is simple and more intuitive.

Note that Bloch's theorem uses a vector . In the periodic potential this vector plays the role analogous to that of the wave vector in the theory of free electrons. Previous: 2.4.1 Electron in a Periodic Potential Up: 2.4.1 Electron in a Periodic Potential Next: 2.4.1.2 Energy Bands This is known as a periodic potential. There is a theorem by Bloch which states that for a particle moving in a periodic potential, the Eigenfunctions x (x) is of the form X (x) = U k (x) e +-ikx Waves in Periodic Potentials Today: 1. Direct lattice and periodic potential as a convolution of a lattice and a basis.

Periodic systems and the Bloch Theorem 1.1 Introduction In the presence of a weak periodic potential, a perturbative argument shows that these coeﬃcients slightly vary from 1 and 0 2the potential is either that of a superlattice i.e. constant with diﬀerent values in 2 in a periodic potential: Bloch’s theorem 2.1 Introduction and health warning We are going to set up the formalism for dealing with a periodic potential; this is known as Bloch’s theorem. The next two-three lectures are going to appear to be hard work from a conceptual point of view. Bloch's theorem (1928) applies to wave functions of electrons inside a crystal and rests in the fact that the Coulomb potential in a crystalline solid is periodic. As a consequence, the potential energy function, V(r →), in Schrödinger's equation should be of the form: Bloch's theorem has many more forms and does not only apply to electrons in periodic potentials, but for all kinds of waves in periodic structures, e.g. phonons.

Quantum mechanically, the electron moves as a wave through the potential. Due to the diffraction of these waves, there are bands of energies where the electron is allowed to propagate through the potential and bands of energies where no propagating solutions are possible. The Bloch theorem states that the propagating states have the form,
