What concept did Bloch help develop?
Bloch's theorem
Pascal's triangle
Mendel's laws
Hawking radiation
Answer
Bloch’s theorem elucidates the behavior of electrons in crystalline solids. It demonstrates that the wave function of an electron in a periodic potential can be expressed as a product of a periodic function and a plane wave. This fundamental concept forms the cornerstone of band theory, which categorizes energy states and underlies the understanding of electrical properties in semiconductors and insulators.
