Tight Binding Model | Electrons in Crystals

[@yazeed3583]

Thanks for the great explanation! However, I noticed something at 1:15: The Bloch factor is not the eigenfunction of the translation operator, but the eigenvalue of it. Right?

[@PrettyMuchPhysics]

Great observation, yes indeed it is the *eigenvalue* of the translation operator 👍

yea

[@rosensofroniev1264]

You explained the f*ck out of tight binding in like 4 minutes. That was very helpful. Thanks!

[@PrettyMuchPhysics]

Glad you liked it 😃

[@kambizv1257]

you were very practical and understandable

You just earned a subscriber. I love the succinct summary of info. I'm studying for a solid state physics exam and this helps a lot.

Thank you very much :) We don't upload very often nowadays, but I hope you'll enjoy our previous videos! :D

[@hebahthephysicist9349]

WOW that was very simple and easy to understand I'm very thankful!

[@PrettyMuchPhysics]

Thanks for the nice feedback! Glad you liked it!

[@giulianobasso3410]

awesome explaination! All hail science :P

Really like your videos, thank you very much! A piece of hopefully constructive criticism: Sometime after displaying stuff you get rid of it real quick (e.g. from 0:29 to 0:31). At least for me something like 5 seconds would be a bit more convenient. I caught myself pausing the videos on a regular basis ...

Good to know, thank you very much for your feedback!

why crystal field effect E and hopping integral t is negative chosen??.........your explaination of topic is awesome....thankyou
