Abstract
A formalism of the Kronig-Penney model has been developed that is more general than that of Cho and Prucnal [Phys. Rev. B 36, 3237 (1987)]. It gives not only odd- and even-index subbands but also wave functions for all values of the wave number. A parity analysis of the wave functions is also given.Keywords
