Abstract
A modification of the Kronig–Penney model consisting of equidistantly spaced δ ′ interactions is considered. We prove that an absolutely continuous spectrum of such a system disappears under the influence of an external electric field. The result extends to periodic lattices of nonidentical δ ′ interactions and potentials which are lower unbounded and, up to a bounded term, asymptotically decreasing with bounded first two derivatives.
