Difference between Bloch wave and Plane wave

Bloch wave vs. Plane wave

A Bloch wave (also called Bloch state or Bloch function or Bloch wavefunction), named after Swiss physicist Felix Bloch, is a type of wavefunction for a particle in a periodically-repeating environment, most commonly an electron in a crystal. In the physics of wave propagation, a plane wave (also spelled planewave) is a wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite parallel planes.

Similarities between Bloch wave and Plane wave

Bloch wave and Plane wave have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Crystal, Electromagnetism, Group velocity, Photonic crystal.

Crystal

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics involving the study of the electromagnetic force, a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles.

Group velocity

The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall shape of the wave's amplitudes—known as the modulation or envelope of the wave—propagates through space.

Photonic crystal

A photonic crystal is a periodic optical nanostructure that affects the motion of photons in much the same way that ionic lattices affect electrons in solids.

Bloch wave and Plane wave Comparison

Bloch wave has 43 relations, while Plane wave has 72. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.48% = 4 / (43 + 72).
