Potential Profile with Alternating Transition Probabilities

Potential Profiles with Alternating Transition Probabilities 

The matrix related to this profile has the following elements  

The solutions of determinants and are known in the molecular orbital theory of linear organic molecules i. e., 

Only the case for even N will be considered in the following discussion. The case for odd N follows an identical argument, and only the results will be stated. 

Squaring (49a) and using (47), one obtains expression of (49a), i. e.. somewhat simpler
