Fitzgerald-1999 9 Nearly-Free Electron Model Assume electrons with wave vectors k s far from diffraction condition are still free and look like traveling waves and see ion potential U as a weak background potential Electrons near diffraction condition have only two possible solutions electron densities between ions E Efree-U electron densities on ions E Efree U Exact solution using HT ET shows that E near diffraction conditions is also parabolic in k E k2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E.
