... theory of quantum mechanics in a periodic potential explains what was once a great mystery of physics: In a conducting crystal, why do electrons propagate like a diffuse gas of free particles? How do they avoid scattering from the ...
... quantum mechanics and solid-state physics are at some advantage, because our formalism owes a great deal to the techniques and nomenclature of those fields. Appendix A explores this analogy in detail. Photonic crystals are a marriage of ...
