CALCULATION OF BAND STRUCTURE OF COMPLEX CRYSTALS BY THE ELECTRON NETWORK MODEL

Abstract

The method of the electron in a network lattice allows one to calculate the complete band structure of a complex crystal. One establishes explicitly a particular equation for each set of bands of the same type of symmetry. Besides the simplicity of the calculation, an advantage of such method is the possibility of taking easily into account the influence of the atoms which are not merely the first neighbors, and the fact that the lattice potentials appear in the equations only as Dirac's functions.
