aAlong infinite linear atomic chains, considering simple harmonic nearest-neighbour interactions only. The shaded region of the dispersion relation is outside the first Brillouin zone of the reciprocal lattice.
bIn the sense α = restoring force/relative displacement.
cNote that the repeat distance for this chain is 2a, so that the first Brillouin zone extends to |k| < π/(2a). The optic and acoustic branches are the + and − solutions respectively.

aFor an electric field varying as e−iωt. bHolds for an arbitrary band structure.
cThe charge on an electron is −e, where e is the elementary charge (approximately +1.6 × 10−19 C). The Hall coe cient is therefore a negative number when the dominant charge carriers are electrons.
