Kronig-Penney model with the tail-cancellation method
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2001)The Kronig-Penney model of an electron moving in a periodic potential is solved by the so-called tail-cancellation method. The problem also serves as a simple illustration of the tail-cancellation method itself. -
The quantum mechanics of electric conduction in crystals
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2010)We introduce a model of electrons incident on a one-dimensional periodic potential and show that conduction is a result of the interference of different parts of an electron wave that bounce multiple times through a series ...
