Halogen Band in Sodium Chloride

Abstract
The approximation of tight binding is employed to determine a minimum for the width of the halogen band in NaCl. Approximate curves of the one-electron energy E vs wave number k are provided for values of k lying along lines of high symmetry in the first Brillouin zone. A minimum width of about 1.0 ev is obtained.
