摘要
We consider a complex periodic PT-symmetric potential of the Kronig-Penney type, in order to elucidate the peculiar properties found by Bender et al. for potentials of the form V = i(sin x)(2N+1), and in particular the absence of anti-periodic solutions. in this model we show explicitly why these solutions disappear as soon as V*(x) not equal V(x), and spell out the consequences for the form of the dispersion relation.
