• Molecular Solids: on molecular entities (as in gas phase); packing effects?

• Extended Solids: how to make the problem tractable?

(a) Amorphous (glasses): silicates, phosphates – molecular fragments, tieoff ends with simple atoms, e.g., “H”;

(b) Quasiperiodic: fragments based on building units, tie off ends withsimple atoms, e.g., “H”;

(c) Crystalline: unit cells (translational symmetry) – elegant simplification!

IV. Electronic Structure and Chemical Bonding Group of the Lattice J.K. Burdett, Chemical Bonding in Solids

Bravais Lattice: {tn = n1a1 + n2a2 + n3a3; n1, n2, n3 integers}

(1) Closed under vector addition: tn + tm = tn+m lattice

(2) Identity: t0 = 0 lattice

(3) Vector addition is associative: (tn + tm) + tp = tn + (tm + tp)

(4) Inverse: tn = tn, tn + tn = 0

ALSO: (5) Vector addition is commutative: tn + tm = tm + tn

The (Bravais) Lattice is an “Abelian group”:(a) # classes = # members of the group(b) # members of the group = # irreducible representations (IRs)(c) each IR is one-dimensional (a 11 matrix; a complex number, ei )(d) Periodic (Born-von Karman) Boundary Conditions: Set N1a1 = identity (like 0), N2a2 = identity, and N3a3 = identity

IV. Electronic Structure and Chemical Bonding Bloch’s Theorem

The wavefunctions for electrons, phonons (= lattice vibrations) subjected to periodic potential, i.e., U(r + t) = U(r), take the form

nk(r) = eikr un(r)

where un(r) has the full periodicity of the lattice, i.e., un(r + t) = un(r).

Note that nk(r + t) = eikt nk(r)

Therefore, for a determination of electronic states or vibrational modes in crystals, we only need to treat the contents of the unit cell (primitive cell)!
