... finite number of degenerate modes with a given eigenvalue . ) On the other hand , two spatially bounded modes H and H + SH that are arbitrarily similar cannot also be orthogonal : their inner product is ( H , H ) + ( H , SH ) , where ...
... finite volume leads to a discrete spectrum of eigenvalues . We can expect to find , for each value of k , an infinite set of modes with discretely spaced frequencies , which we can label by a band index n . Since k enters as a ...
... finite interval, the one-dimensional Brillouin zone, because the crystal has discrete translational symmetry in the z direction. Using the prescriptions of the previous chapter, if the primitive lattice vector is aˆz then the primitive ...
