The Kronig-Penney model describes what happens to electron states when a confining potential is repeated indefinitely. This model uses a square well potential; the energies and eigenstates can be obtained analytically for a the single well,…
We study the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic delta-function potential. This realizes a nonlinear Kr\"onig-Penney model, with physical applications in the context of trapped Bose-Einstein condensate alkaly gases and in the…
Recently, bootstrap methods from conformal field theory have been adapted for studying the energy spectrum of various quantum mechanical systems. In this paper, we consider the application of these methods in obtaining the spectrum from the…
The one-dimensional Kronig-Penney potential in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, a standard periodic potential in quantum mechanics textbooks known for generating band structures, is solved by using the finite difference method with periodic…
The celebrated Kronig-Penney model traditionally has been formulated with square well potentials representing atomic centres. Here, we use a slightly more realistic potential, the truncated harmonic oscillator, in lieu of square well…
In the one-dimensional periodic potential case, we formulate the condition of Bloch periodicity for the reduced action by using the relation between the wave function and the reduced action established in the context of the equivalence…
All Bloch states of the mean field of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a one dimensional lattice of impurities are presented in closed analytic form. The band structure is investigated by analyzing the stationary states of the…
The Bloch wavefunction leads either to mathematically impossible consequences or suggests that the ground state energy is a function of size and shape when the geometry of large crystals is considered in detail. It is incompatible with the…
We study the bound states of a Kronig Penney potential for a nonlinear one-dimensional Schroedinger equation. This potential consists of a large, but not necessarily infinite, number of equidistant delta-function wells. We show that the…
An analysis is presented of frequency versus wave-vector dispersion in elliptically birefringent one-dimensional layered periodic structures. The presence of local normal mode polarization state variations from one layer to the next is…
We generalize the textbook Kronig-Penney model to realistic conditions for a quantum-particle moving in the quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) waveguide, where motion in the transverse direction is confined by a harmonic trapping potential.…
The Kronig-Penney model, an exactly solvable one-dimensional model of crystal in solid physics, shows how the allowed and forbidden bands are formed in solids. In this paper, we study this model in the presence of both strong spin-orbit…
We study the homogenization of a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation with a large periodic potential in solid state physics. Denoting by $\varepsilon$ the period, the potential is scaled as $\varepsilon^{-2}$. Under a generic assumption on…
Solutions of time-independent Schrodinger equation for potentials periodic in space satisfy Bloch theorem. The theorem has been used to obtain solutions of the Schrodinger equation for periodic systems by expanding them in terms of plane…
In this article we discuss a procedure to solve the one dimensional (1D) Schroedinger Equation for a periodic potential, which may be well suited to teach band structure theory. The procedure is conceptually very simple, so that it may be…
Solitary waves in one-dimensional periodic media are discussed employing the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a spatially periodic potential as a model. This equation admits two families of gap solitons that bifurcate from the edges of…
We investigate the dynamics of a wave packet in a parity-breaking one-dimensional periodic potential slowly varied in time and perturbed by a linear potential. Parity is broken by considering an asymmetric double well per unit cell. By…
A set of exact closed-form Bloch-state solutions to the stationary Gross-Pitaevskii equation are obtained for a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional periodic array of quantum wells, i.e. a square-well periodic potential. We use…
In this paper, we consider the small and large eigenvalues of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator L(q) with a periodic, real and locally integrable potential q. First we explicitly write out the first and second terms of the…
We discuss the equations for the bound one-active electron states based on the analytic solutions of the Schrodinger and Pauli equations for a uniform magnetic field and a single attractive $\delta({\bf r})$-potential. It is vary important…
