Abstract
In the band model description, electrons in a solid are quasi-particles which occupy one-electron slates. They are described by Bloch functions |n, k, σ〉 where n is the band index, k is the wave vector of the electron, and σ is the spin. In this chapter we shall be almost entirely concerned with electrons of one band, the conduction band. Accordingly we need only give the band index explicitly in a few cases. Since for transitions within the conduction band electron spin direction is in most cases maintained, we shall on many occasions describe the electron by its wave vector only.
