A note on the group analysis of the wave functions of valency electrons in a crystal

Abstract

In a few papers which will be published in the near future the two authors deal with the electron theory of metallic magnesium and aluminium and the interpretation of some of the properties of these elements or their solid solutions. This paper deals with the group analysis of the wave functions of valency electrons in the first Brillouin zone of both metals and shows how it is possible in general to construct an irreducible representation of a space group for the case that this group contains screw axes and gliding planes.
