Tight-Binding Model
The Tight-Binding (TB) model is a simplified semi-empirical approach for computing electronic band structures and properties of solids. Formulated by Slater and Koster in 1954, TB treats electron hopping between atomic sites as the dominant interaction, enabling efficient calculations of band dispersion for a wide variety of materials.
