Abstract

The wave functions for free electrons in a periodic crystal can be expanded in plane waves (PWs). If the potential due to the atoms is neglected, then PWs are the exact solution. If the potential is reasonably smooth, then it can be treated as a perturbation, thus leading to the so-called nearly-fre...
