We present a detailed study of a generalised one-dimensional Kronig-Penney model using $\delta\text{-}\delta'$ potentials. We analyse the band structure and the density of states in two situations. In the first case we consider an infinite…
In this work, we investigate the bound states in the continuum (BIC) of a one-dimensional spin-1 flat band system. It is found that, when the potential is sufficiently strong, there exists an effective attractive potential well surrounded…
The momentum spectrum of a periodic network (quantum graph) has a band-gap structure. We investigate the relative density of the bands or, equivalently, the probability that a randomly chosen momentum belongs to the spectrum of the periodic…
The Kronig-Penney model is used to Study the effect of nonlinear interaction on the transmissive properties of both ordered and disordered chains. In the ordered case, the nonlinearity can either localize or delocalize the electronic states…
The energy spectrum for a system of atoms in a periodic potential can exhibit a gap in the band structure. We describe a system in which a laser is used to produce a mechanical potential for the atoms, and a standing wave light field is…
Applying certain known theorems about one-dimensional periodic potentials, we show that the energy spectrum of the associated Lam\'{e} potentials $$a(a+1)m~{\rm sn}^2(x,m)+b(b+1)m~{\rm cn}^2(x,m)/{\rm dn}^2(x,m)$$ consists of a finite…

We study the properties of the quantum states in the one-dimensional system with a shifted periodic potential in both the discrete model and the continuous model. With open boundary conditions, the edge states appear in the energy gaps…
We investigate a one-dimensional quantum system with a self-similar arrangement of delta-function potential barriers, exhibiting discrete scale invariance. The singular potential induces kinematically enforced symmetry breaking at $x=0$,…
Complex periodic structures inherit spectral properties from the constituent parts of their unit cells, chiefly their spectral band gaps. Exploiting this intuitive principle, which is made precise in this work, means spectral features of…
