Abstract:
The mathematical foundation of the tight binding approximation is given. Let λ0 be a negative energy level of a real potential q. Then there exists an energy band for a one-dimensional chain with period 2T of the identical atoms which lies near λ0. We study this band when T tends to infinity.
