Question

what is periodic potential​

Answer 1

Answer:

The potential is caused by ions in the periodic structure of the crystal creating an electromagnetic field so electrons are subject to a regular potential inside the lattice

Answer 2

Answer:

Periodic potential:

• The particle in a one-dimensional lattice is an issue in quantum mechanics that appears in the periodic crystal lattice model.
• Electrons inside the lattice are subject to a consistent potential due to the electromagnetic field that is produced by the ions in the periodic structure of the crystal.
• This potential is known as periodic potential.

Explanation:

What impact does periodic potential have?

The energy of the electrons present in the valence shell increases and they move to the outer orbit when a specific potential energy is applied to a metal.

What does the Bloch Theorem say?

Bloch's theorem in condensed matter physics asserts that Schrödinger equation answers in periodic potentials take the shape of a plane wave modified by a periodic function.
