What Does TBM Stand For?

TBM stands for Tight Binding Model

The Tight Binding Model (TBM) is a theoretical framework used in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics to describe the electronic properties of materials, particularly crystalline solids. It simplifies the calculation of electronic band structures by considering electrons to be "bound" to atoms but allowing for their wave functions to overlap between neighboring atoms. This approach is particularly useful for understanding the behavior of electrons in materials with a periodic lattice structure, enabling insights into conductivity, magnetism, and other fundamental properties of solids.
