The excitation strength to the lowest Bogoliubov b<strong>and</strong> - Analytic results<br />

The characteristic behaviour described above can be understood by consider<strong>in</strong>g the lowest<br />

Bogoliubov b<strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> the tight b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g regime where an analytic expression can be derived for<br />

ansatz (7.25,7.26) for the Bogoliubov amplitudes, the expression for the strength Z1(p) (8.8)<br />

takes the form<br />

where we have neglected contributions due to the overlap of neighbour<strong>in</strong>g Wannier functions.<br />
