AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding a suitable book that effectively explains the Kronig-Penney model and its diagrams. A user expresses difficulty understanding the model through Kittel's work. Suggestions include using a Maple packet for determinant calculations instead of focusing on diagrams. Additionally, a reference to a two-dimensional Kronig-Penney model is mentioned, though it is in Russian. A recommendation is made for the book "Solid State Physics" by Decker, noted for its clear treatment of the Kronig-Penney model.

hi
which book describes kronig-penney model and its consequence properly, i.e i want a good description on the diagram of kp model.. please suggest, i tried kittel but no use, i can't understand it...Please help!

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.
 
thanks lloydel and minich...
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
