Anionic character of the conduction band of sodium chloride

Klaus Kern, Abhishek Grewal

The alkali halides are ionic compounds. Each alkali atom donates an electron to a halogen atom, leading to ions with full shells. The valence band is mainly located on halogen atoms, while, in a traditional picture, the conduction band is mainly located on ...
