Can I get Bandgap of 3D material with 1D Hamiltonian

Hi All,

Greetings!

I have a 3d material and I use result from first principal for getting the potential (U(x,y,z)). I then find average U(x) from U(x,y,z). Now if I write one dimensional Hamiltonian in X direction and use this value of U(x), can I get bandgap of the original 3d material (I am not interested to see the bandstructure, bandgap is what I need)

Thanks,
_Arya

No. Why do you think this should be possible? A one-dimensional chain of something is a completely different physical system than a 3d bulk material. (And that is not even considering the /massive/ approximations in what I can only guess you are doing)
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
