The time-reversal symmetry of the crystalline Hamiltonian introduces an additional energy-level degeneracy.Let the Hamiltonian operator H be real. The transition in the time-dependent Schrodinger equation to a complex-conjugate equation with simultaneous time-inversion substitution... 

The principal properties of the energy as a function of k are as follows. Within the Brillouin zone E(k) is a continuous function. It is, of course, a multiple-valued function in the reduced zone scheme. At a Brillouin zone plane the gradient of (k) must be in the plane, except in certain exceptional cases. Finally, the band structure must be symmetric under inversion, k — k. This is usually referred to as time-reversal symmetry, but for simple Hamiltonians without spin-orbit coupling it follows simply from complex conjugation of Schrodinger s equation. 

In the same section, we also see that the source of the appropriate analytic behavior of the wave function is outside its defining equation (the Schrodinger equation), and is in general the consequence of either some very basic consideration or of the way that experiments are conducted. The analytic behavior in question can be in the frequency or in the time domain and leads in either case to a Kramers-Kronig type of reciprocal relations. We propose that behind these relations there may be an equation of restriction, but while in the former case (where the variable is the frequency) the equation of restriction expresses causality (no effect before cause), for the latter case (when the variable is the time), the restriction is in several instances the basic requirement of lower boundedness of energies in (no-relativistic) spectra [39,40]. In a previous work, it has been shown that analyticity plays further roles in these reciprocal relations, in that it ensures that time causality is not violated in the conjugate relations and that (ordinary) gauge invariance is observed [40]. 

Having been introduced to the concepts of operators, wavefunctions, the Hamiltonian and its Schrodinger equation, it is important to now consider several examples of the applications of these concepts. The examples treated below were chosen to provide the learner with valuable experience in solving the Schrodinger equation they were also chosen because the models they embody form the most elementary chemical models of electronic motions in conjugated molecules and in atoms, rotations of linear molecules, and vibrations of chemical bonds. 

V- Divergence operator V X Curl operator t Vector transposition t Complex conjugate The Variational Principle states that an approximate wave function has an energy which is above or equal to the exact energy. The equality holds only if the wave function is exact. The proof is as follows. Assume that we know the exact solutions to the Schrodinger equation. H. 1 = 0.1.2 oo CB.l)... 

Therefore T (t)) obeys the time-reversed Schrodinger equation of motion. The time-reversal operator 9 is the complex conjugation operator u. 

The quantum analog of this observable should be an operator. To find it we start for simplicity in one dimension and consider the time-dependent Schrodinger equation and its complex conjugate... 

In the absence of an external magnetic field, the Hamiltonian H is a real Operator. Then, the Schrodinger equation for an ordinary wavefunction, will be invariant under the combined operation of time reversal and complex conjugation ... 

In the time concept of the pre-relativistic mechanics, the observable quantities, time t and energy E, have to be considered as another canonically conjugate pair, as in classical mechanics. The dynamic law (time-dependent energy term) of the Schrodinger equation will then completely disappear [19]. A good occasion for Weyl to introduce the relativistic view would have been his contributions to Dirac s electron theory. His other colleagues developed the method of the so-called second quantization that seemed easier for the entire community of physicists and chemists to accept. 

There is another reason for degeneracy of excitonic states, being a consequence of the structure of the Schrodinger equation. Indeed, since the Hamiltonian is a self-conjugated operator, wavefunctions l>ko (( = 1,2,..., p), where the star means complex conjugate, as well as wavefunctions kotJ ( = 1,2,..., p),... 

In quantum mechanics, the operation t — —t (time-reversal) is to be accompanied by complex conjugation (i — —i) so that the Schrodinger equation remains invariant. This operation is called Wigner time-reversal.
