A particle of mass
moves in a lattice along the
-axis in a periodic potential
with periodicity
. The corresponding Brillouin zone extends from
to
with the two
-points being equivalent. If a weak force
in the
-direction is applied to the particle, it starts a periodic motion with time period
. Using the equation of motion
for a particle moving in a band, where
is the crystal momentum of the particle, the period
is found to be (
