Recent studies have theoretically investigated the atomic excitation andionization induced by the dark matter (DM)-nucleus scattering, and it is foundthat the suddenly recoiled atom is much more likely to excite or lose itselectrons than expected. Such phenomenon is called the "Migdal effect". In thispaper, we extend the established strategy to describe the Migdal effect inisolated atoms to the case in semiconductors under the framework oftight-binding (TB) approximation. Since the localized aspects of electrons arerespected in form of the Wannier functions (WFs), the extension of the existingMigdal approach for isolated atoms is much more natural, while the extensivenature of electrons in solids is reflected in the hopping integrals. We takediamond target as a concrete proof of principle for the methodology, andcalculate relevant energy spectra and projected sensitivity of such diamonddetector. It turns out that our method as a preliminary attempt is practicallyeffective.
