From spherical to periodic symmetry: The analog of orbital angular momentum for semiconductor crystals

The angular momentum formalism provides a powerful way to classify atomic states. Yet, requiring a spherical symmetry from the very first line, this formalism cannot be used for periodic systems, even though cubic semiconductor states are commonly classified according to atomic notations. Although n...
