tight binding approximation [′tīt ¦bīnd·iŋ ə‚präk·sə′mā·shən]

(solid-state physics)

A method of calculating energy states and wave functions of electrons in a solid in which the wave function is assumed to be a sum of pure atomic wave functions centered about each of the atoms in the lattice, each multiplied by a phase factor; it is suitable for deep-lying energy levels.
