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...
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
