Energy Levels in Three-Dimensional Crystals.
Abstract
In the report the authors examine the question of energy levels in three-dimensional crystals. With the Schrodinger equation it became clear that the form of the crystal potential will affect the eigenvalue spectrum E. They therefore surveyed presently-used methods for the construction of the crystal potential. The eigenvalue spectrum, E, becomes a set of bands in a crystal. The authors also review methods used in the calculation of the energy band structure in solids. Finally they discuss the question of the energy band structure in crystals where there may be a random component of the potential present. (Author)
