Energy bands folding

Figure 5 Schematic representation of absorbance of porphyrin compounds in relation to tissue transmittance at various wavelengths (see text). The lowest energy band (Band I) is shown in each case, apart from the porphyrin spectrum (etio type shown) on the left. The transmittance curve refers to a fold of human scrotal sac 0.7 cm thick (Wan, S. Parrish, J. A. Anderson, R. R. Madden, M. Photochem. Photobiol. 1981, 34, 679-681). The broad feature at ca. 500-600 nm is ascribed to haemoglobin (reproduced by permission of the Royal Society of Chemistry from Chem. Soc. Rev. 1995, 24, 19-33).

SchlUter et al. [247] used polarization selection rule effects with s-and p-polarized photons, together with energy distribution measurements, to show a good level of agreement between experiment and calculation for the one-fold site. This result was confirmed by Pandey et al. [249] and extended by Larsen et al. [250] to include the derivation of the two-dimensional energy bands from measurements of the energy positions of...

As we mentioned above, the Pt /Pt mixed valence compounds are In fact found as Infinite chains. So, instead of the two orbitals, cr/ and cr of Figure 17.8, we have an energy band [49] shown In Figure 15.1 I. At the symmetric geometry, the band is just half-full, signaling a Pelerls-type distortion. The distortion exhibited in 17.48 requires that the unit cell be doubled so the band is folded back as shown by the dotted line for the e(k) versus k plot in 17.53. 

A second constraint is that the relative order of the critical energies at = 0 and fc = I is invariant to the presence or absence of the potential V(4>) [H]-Equation (A.6) shows that the free motion band structure can be folded onto the interval — Consequently, preservation of relative energy orderings at... 

The second type of quantum monodromy occurs in the computed bending-vibrational bands of LiCN/LiNC, in which the role of the isolated critical point is replaced by that of a finite folded region of the spectrum, where the vibrational states of the secondary isomer LiNC interpenetrate those of LiCN [9, 10]. The folded region is finite in this case, because the secondary minimum on the potential surface merges with the transition state as the angular momentum increases. However, the shape of the potential energy surface in HCN prevents any such angular momentum cut-off, so monodromy is forbidden [10].
