ON THE BAND THEORY OF MOLECULAR CRYSTALS

Abstract

The orbitals of the electrons in a crystal adapted to the translational symmetry of the atomic framework are the so-called Bloch functions. In the the crystal orbital method presented, the use of these orbitals in the Schrodinger equation gives one secular equation for every wave vector. The basic orbitals in this secular equation are the different atomic orbitals for the atoms in the unit cell. (Author)
