From mun-tin orbitals located on the lattice sites of a solid, with
one atom per unit cell, we now construct a wavefunction which is con-
tinuous and differentiable, and manifestly satisfies the Bloch condition
(1.3.1):
ψ j ( k ,ε, r )=

e i k · R χ lm ( ε, r R ) .

If we approximate the atomic polyhedra by spheres, and implicitly as-
sume that they fill space, the condition that (1.3.6) is a solution of the
Schrodinger equation is easily seen to be that the sum of the tails orig-
inating from terms of the form ( S/
) l +1 , from the surrounding

atoms, cancels the 'extra' contribution

in the atomic sphere at the origin. To satisfy this condition, we expand
the tails of the mun-tin orbitals centred at R about the origin, in the
form
