We consider a two dimensional crystal organized as a square lattice of parameter a. We consider only the interaction with the first neighbors. We recall the main result of LCAO model 1212 2 = 80 - Nunc - Beki -1 Where nn represent the neighbor and the summation is done over all the position of the nearest neighbors 1.

EENG 245 Physical electronics HW 1 1) The NaCl crystal is cubic, and can be described as follows. Na atoms sit at the corners and faces of a cube, and Cl atoms sit in between two Na atoms. This means that a Clatom is found half-way along each of the cube edges, and there is a Cl in the center of the cube. (We could also have described the lattice by interchanging Na and Cl in the description above.) Another...
