Bloch function

[′bläk ‚fəŋk·shən]
(solid-state physics)
A wave function for an electron in a periodic lattice, of the form u (r) exp [i k·r] where u (r) has the periodicity of the lattice.

The Bloch functions can only allow the four wave vector to assume the following quantized values:
For large values of n the Bloch functions statisfy the condition
Note that Theorem 1 not only characterizes the composition operators mapping logarithmic Bloch functions into the Hardy space but also introduces a kind of g-function.

In the LCAO technique, each crystalline orbital is built from the linear combination of Bloch functions. The Bloch functions are defined in terms of local functions constructed from the atom-centered certain number of Gaussian functions.
