Abstract

The band structure model for (crystalline) solids was developed starting from the late 1920s of the last century. A few of the early references are. Starting from the mid 1950s, more elaborate theories have been created, band structure calculations started and localization effects in disordered systems came into focus.

Notes

  1. 1.

    To make life a bit more complex we mention, that there are some exotic (as least form the point of view of a simple-minded semiconductor scientist) transition metal compounds and rare earth oxides, which have partly occupied atomic d- or f- levels. Nevertheless these materials are insulators.
