If electrons can jump between a broad band [described by
]
and a narrow energy level at
, then
the band structure exhibits signs of hybridization: A mixing of electronic
states when the
and
energies are close
(see Problem 5.2).
In a simple model, the hybridized energy levels can be calculated as
Assume that the broad band has
, a constant DOS over a
bandwidth
, and
for
or
. For the
narrow band the DOS peaks sharply at energy
, but the
total number of states
is the same as in the broad band;
.
Calculate the DOS for the hybridized band.
