Features: The theory of electronic states in crystals is the foundation of modern solid-state physics. The theory of electronic states in traditional solid-state physics is essentially the theory of electronic states in an infinite crystal. However, the size of any real crystal is finite. In this book, the author proposes a new theory of quantum confinement effects of electronic states and Bloch waves in ideal finite crystals and low-dimensional systems, providing accurate and universal fundamental insights into the electronic states of ideal low-dimensional systems and finite crystals. Some of the conclusions differ significantly from the traditional views in the field of solid-state physics.
