I think you don't need diagrams of Kronig Penney model.
All You need is Maple packet for determinant.

As for the superconductivity band theory ALL you need Is the solution with the moving meander lattice!

You can see two dimensional Kronig Penney model.
But it is in russian :((((

I like the old book titled Solid State Physics by Decker. He gives a pretty clear treatment of k-p.

There are several books that can provide a good understanding of the Kronig-Penney model and its consequences. One recommended book is "Solid State Physics" by Neil W. Ashcroft and N. David Mermin. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the electronic properties of solids, including the Kronig-Penney model.

Another useful book is "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by Charles Kittel. This book covers the basics of solid state physics, including the Kronig-Penney model, in a clear and concise manner. However, if you are having trouble understanding the concepts in this book, you may also want to try "Solid State Physics: An Introduction" by Philip Hofmann. This book provides a more intuitive approach to understanding the Kronig-Penney model, with helpful diagrams and explanations.

It is also worth mentioning that there are many online resources available, such as lecture notes and videos, that can provide a visual understanding of the Kronig-Penney model. Additionally, seeking guidance from a professor or tutor who has a strong understanding of solid state physics can also be helpful in understanding the Kronig-Penney model and its consequences.
