Question

Calculate the energy dispersion for s-band in the bcc lattice for the tight binding approximation.
Note: For the central atom located at (0,0,0) in the bcc unit cell, the nearest neighbours are located at equation, where a is the lattice constant.

In the tight binding approximation, the energy dispersion for an s-band is given by [ E(\mathbf{k}) = E_0 + \sum_{\mathbf{R}} t(\mathbf{R}) e^{i \mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{R}} ] where (E_0) is the on-site energy, (t(\mathbf{R})) is the hopping integral to a neighbour at (\mathbf{R}), and the sum is over all nearest neighbours. For a bcc lattice, the central atom at ((0,0,0)) has 8 nearest neighbours located at [ \mathbf{R} = \frac{a}{2} (\pm 1, \pm 1, \pm 1) ] with all combinations of signs. Let the hopping integral for these neighbours be (t). Then
