Abstract

First, the theory for the bulk crystals [1-3] is described. According to Bloch’s theorem, a single-body state of an electron in a solid crystal of volume V takes the following form:

where b labels bands (conduction band, heavy-hole band, and so on), and Ubk is the cell-periodic function. The spin index is omitted for the sake of simplicity.
