    The document summarizes key aspects of one-dimensional tight binding models. It introduces the Hamiltonian for a 1D tight binding model with nearest neighbor hopping. It then performs a Fourier transform to write the Hamiltonian in momentum space. It describes solving the tight binding model by writing the wavefunction as a linear combination of basis states and applying the Schrodinger equation with periodic boundary conditions. The conclusion quotes a statement about something being fundamentally wrong with the universe from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    Original Description:

    Chapter 1

    1.1 One dimensional Models


    Hamiltonian for one dimensional model is :

    H = |ri hr + d| + |ri hr + d|

    where d is a for nearest neighbour hopping. Now taking Fourier transform :


    X n o
    |ki = t exp ik ˙· r (|ri + |r + di)
    d

    Solving Tight binding model


    Let X
    |ψi = cˆn φ
    n

    The Schroedinger equation reads:

    Hψ = ψ

    Considering periodic boundary condition such as

    ψn+1 = ψ1

    1.2 Conclusion
