Bloch 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. A wavefunction ψ is a Bloch wave if it has the form:
where r is position, ψ is the Bloch wave, "u" is a periodic function with the same periodicity as the crystal, k is a vector of real numbers called the crystal wave
nowhere to become one of the year's most compelling and replayable jams." Sam Bloch of "LA Weekly" called the album "a game-changer. At that time, so-called chillwavers were achieving popularity by washing facile pop melodies in baths of haze and echo. The mellow, dubbier stuff of Peaking Lights was a refreshing alternative." "Pitchfork" named "936" one of the most overlooked albums of the year and said it exemplified the neglected creativity of a new wave of Midwestern musicians. "
