    The tight-binding model describes electrons that are localized to atoms but can hop between atoms. The hopping stems from orbital overlap and is a form of kinetic energy. Special points in band structures include Van Hove singularities at extremal points. Jahn-Teller distortion lowers electronic energy due to less orbital overlap by distorting the crystal field. For a slowly varying impurity potential, Thomas Fermi screening was used, resulting in a Yukawa potential. Perturbation theory yields the Lindhard susceptibility which relates the induced density to the potential.
