Abstract
We derive the semiclassical WKB quantization condition for obtaining the energy band edges of periodic potentials. The derivation is based on an approach which is much simpler than the usual method of interpolating with linear potentials in the regions of the classical turning points. The band structure of several periodic potentials is computed using our semiclassical quantization condition.
