Electronic band structures

Nearly free electron model

In solid-state physics, the nearly free electron model (or NFE model) or quasi-free electron model is a quantum mechanical model of physical properties of electrons that can move almost freely through the crystal lattice of a solid. The model is closely related to the more conceptual empty lattice approximation. The model enables understanding and calculation of the electronic band structures, especially of metals. This model is an immediate improvement of the free electron model, in which the metal was considered as a non-interacting electron gas and the ions were neglected completely. (Wikipedia).

Drude Model | Free Electrons

In this video we review a crude but highly successful theory of nearly free electrons in a metal: The Drude model. Based on the Drude model we arrive at the equation of motion for electrons in an external electric and/or magnetic field. #CondensedMatter 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Historic

Solid State Physics in a Nutshell: Topic 8-1: Free Electron Model

We begin this video by approximating our system as one electron in an infinite square well. We then develop a dispersion relation for the electron. We continue by looking at both fixed and periodic boundary conditions to develop a solution for the wave function.
