ABACUS Exercise: Bandstructure – Kronig-Penney Model and Tight-Binding Exercise
Category
Published on
Abstract
The objective of this exercise is to start with the simple Kronig-Penney model and understand formations of bands and gaps in the dispersion relation that describes the motion of carriers in 1D periodic potentials. The second exercise examines the behavior of the bands at the Brillouin zone boundaries. Finally, a simplified tight-binding approach for 1D lattice has to be derived as part of the third exercise..
