This approach has a simple and elegant generalization to electrons in a general
periodic potential, which is known as the semiclassical model. Justifying the semi
- classical model in detail is a formidable task, considerably more difficult than ...

The semiclassical model describes the response of the electrons to externally
applied electric and magnetic fields that vary slowly over the dimensions of such
a wave packet (Figure 12.1) and therefore exceedingly slowly over a few
primitive ...

The semiclassical equations (12.6) imply that a filled band remains a filled band
at all times, even in the presence of space- and time-dependent electric and
magnetic fields. This is a direct consequence of the semiclassical analogue of ...
