A Simple Model of Energy Band of Two Component Alloys

Abstract

The Schrödinger equation for an electron in the lattice of the alloy was solved exactly, assuming as the form of the periodic potential a series of rectangular barriers whose intervals are the same alternately. It was found that some intervals of energy values which are allowed for electrons in the monoatomic lattices of the constituent metals are not allowed in the lattice of the completely and partially ordered alloy
