What is Bloch theorem and Kramers theorem and can you take each example showing the theorem clearly?
Bloch theorem :
It states that "energy eigenstates of an electron in a crystal can be written as Bloch waves. Bloch theorem states that the electron wavefunctions in a crystal have a basis consisting entirely of Bloch wave energy eigenstates."
Where , = Bloch wave
u = Periodic function
k = Crystal wave vector
e = Euler number
i = imaginary unit
Example :
Kramers Theorem :
It states that "for every energy eigenstate of a time reversal symmetric system with half integer total spin , there is atleast one more eigenstate with the same energy."
Example :
