Apr 4, 2019 · The Bloch theorem is a powerful theorem stating that the expectation value of the U(1) current operator averaged over the entire space vanishes in large quantum systems. The theorem applies to the ground state and to the thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature, irrespective of the details of the Hamiltonian as far as all terms in the Hamiltonian are finite ranged. In this work we present a simple yet rigorous proof for general lattice models. For large but finite systems, we find that ...

This is Bloch’s theorem. It has the same mathematical content as Floquet’s theorem, which is often used for functions in the time domain. If we wish to nd the eigenfunctions of H, we only need to search within a class of functions k of the form (16.15), where uk is periodic. We must do this for
3. Periodic potential: Bloch theorem In metals, there are many atoms. They are periodically arranged, forming a lattice with the lattice constant a. We consider conduction electron in the presence of periodic potential (due to a Coulomb potential of positive ions). The electrons undergo movements under the periodic potential as shown below.
We repeat the determination of Bloch functions for \(p\) AOs on each atomic site, an exercise that demonstrates how band dispersion is related to the nodal characteristics of the AOs. One of the \(p\) AOs is directed along the chain direction and engages in \(\sigma\)-type overlap (\(p_{x}\)), while the other two \(p\) AOs are oriented perpendicular to the chain and engage in \(\pi\)-type overlap (\(p_{y},p_{z}\)).
