FTP, name this ► simplified model proposed in 1930 which calculates the electronic bandstructure of a one-dimensional crystal, a single-electron model named for two guys.
This model can be solved by the transfer matrix method or by the tail cancellation method, which results in the amplitudes of the plane-wave tails damping out at infinity but not changing over the length of a unit cell. This model generally posits an array of square well potentials with width A separated by potential barriers of height V-sub-0 and width B, though it often takes the form where the barrier becomes a delta function. It allows for an easy solution to Schrodinger's equation through the application of Bloch's theorem since this model assumes periodic boundary conditions Â– and thus, it represents a key development in the Band Theory of solids.
