[edit] Regarding capitalization
Stevenj: I think 134.99.136.28 was correct in capitalizing the nouns in the title of Bloch's paper: "Über die Quantenmechanik der Elektronen in Kristallgittern". Nouns are written with capital letters in German. O. Prytz 13:21, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't realize that. —Steven G. Johnson 19:38, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tight binding
I've learned that there are s,p and d bloch waves in transition metals. And that the rules for dipole radiation are very similar to free atoms with s,p,d orbitals. How is the connection? Tight binding model? Would this improve this article? Arnero 20:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Tight-binding approximations are just a simple approximate expansion basis for the Bloch eigenfunctions in electronic systems. It doesn't have anything conceptually to do with Bloch's theorem per se. For example, you could just as easily use a tight-binding approximation in a non-periodic structure where Bloch's theorem does not apply. —Steven G. Johnson 05:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] about F.B.Z.
I suggest that we should note some mathematics descriptions about the first Brillouin zone in an article.
