The Peierls substitution method, named after the original work by R. Peierls is a widely employed approximation for describing tightly-bound electrons in the presence of a slowly varying magnetic vector potential. In the presence of an external vector potential the second quantization translation operators, which form the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian in the tight-binding framework, are simply - . The number of flux quanta per plaquette is related to the lattice curl of the phase factor, and the total flux through the lattice is with in cgs units (and in natural units). In addition, it is related to the accumulated phase of a single particle state, surrounding a plaquette: ==Introduction== Here we give a short derivation of the Peierls substitution. Although the derivation is not very rigorous it is illuminating. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peierls substitution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
