The Empty Lattice Approximation is a theoretical electronic band structure model in which the potential is defined not more precisely than periodic and weak. The Empty Lattice Approximation describes a number of properties of energy dispersion relations of non-interacting free electrons that move through a crystal lattice. The energy of the electrons in the "empty lattice" is the same as the energy of free electrons. The model is useful because it clearly illustrates a number of, the sometimes very complex, features of energy dispersion relations in solids which are fundamental to all electronic band structures.
