Calculation of the Energy-Band Structure of the Kronig-Penney Model Using the Nearly-Free and Tightly-Bound-Electron Approximations

Wetsel, Grover C., Jr.

American Journal of Physics, 46, 7, 714-720, Jul 78

Calculates the energy-band structure of noninteracting electrons in a one-dimensional crystal using exact and approximate methods for a rectangular-well atomic potential. A comparison of the two solutions as a function of potential-well depth and ratio of lattice spacing to well width is presented. (Author/GA)
