Band-structure energy, definition

We emphasize two natural limitations of the finite cluster model. It does not allow to make a statement about the dependence of essential parameters such as adsorption and transition energies on the level of surface coverage, and it does not account adequately for charge delocalization or surface relaxation phenomena. Further, it excludes by definition any information about the modification of the surface band structure as a consequence of the organic molecule adsorption. The following case study of 1-propanol on Si(001) - (2 x 1) is intended to clarify how these elements can be consistently incorporated into the description of the Si surface interaction with organic species. 

Results of photoemission studies of polyethylene have shown definite evidence for wide energy bands among deep valence orbitals ( ), but the nature of the fundamental absorption edge has not been resolved. Band structure calculations predict direct interband excitations to occur above 12.6 eV (.8) whereas the absorption threshold is at 7.2 eV and a strong peak in e occurs at 9.0 eV. The momentum dependence of the absorption threshold indicates that the threshold is of excitonic origin, i.e. the excitation is localized by the strong electron-hole or configuration inter-... 

Formally the energy-band structure for an infinite crystal is defined to be the eigenvalues Ej(k) of the one-electron Schrodinger equation (1.4) obtained as functions of the Bloch vector k. Physically, this definition is of course not very illuminating and I shall therefore now give the simplest possible derivation of a condition for the formation of energy bands, which has a very appealing physical interpretation. 

The band structure of polyacetylene using a two-carbon (ethylene) unit cell. A. A two-atom unit cell and the new unit cell parameter a. B. The definition of "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" in infinite polymers. Note how for the band derived from the ir MO, the intercell overlap is favorable for the in-phase combination and unfavorable for the out-of-phase combination, while the opposite is true for the band derived from the TT MO. C. The band structure. The lower band arises from their MO of ethylene and the higher band from the IT MO. The x axis is now k in multiples of ir/fl, and so it ranges from 0 to 1. The y axis is that would be used in the equation E = a + 2, so the 0.0 point is energy a.

The electronic structure of polymers is different from that of discrete molecules. Molecular eigenvalues are quantized that is, they can only assume definite values. Polymers, on the other hand, do not have quantized eigenvalues instead, their eigenvalues form bands of energies. This is a consequence of the infinite nature of the system an infinite number of atoms would give rise to an infinite number of eigenvalues. 

When an excited molecule also consists of a definite vibrational level as shown in Fig. 5.1(a), there shall be no direct dissociation of molecule and a fine structure in the electronic band spectra of the molecule will be observed. The excess energy, in usual course may be dissipated as heat or may give rise to fluorescence. But the molecule may retain its energy until it has not reacted with another molecule or transfer its energy to another molecule, e.g. decomposition of NOC1 as follows ...
