B-O RECENT PROGRESS IN ENERGY BAND THEORY,

Abstract

Current methods used in the study of energy bands are examined. Mistakes made because of arbitrarily constructed crystal potentials are pointed out, as are the advantages of self-consistent calculations. A method of accounting for electron exchange and correlation, as well as relativistic effects and spin-orbit interactions is considered. Preliminary results are given for self-consistent non-relativistic calculations for diamond, silicon, germanium, and gray tin.
