Electron wavefunctions at crystal interfaces

A one dimensional analysis of the boundary conditions of the electron energy eigenfunc-tion at a sharp interface between two crystals was made. An attempt to evaluate these conditions in terms of known band structure was made. It was concluded that this cannot be done in general. It was shown, howev...
