We consider tight-binding electrons on a square lattice, with an anisotropic hopping intensity, and in a periodic external potential. Breaking of the translational symmetry of the system results in two bands, separated by a gap of width proportional to the unique energy parameter of the model. The off-diagonal matrix elements of the one-body reduced density matrix are exactly expressed by product of Euler's Γ-functions and Appell function. Their large-distance (σ) decay rate is derived to be of the form σ−1exp (−σ/ξ). A control of the crossover from 2D to 1D system is achieved. In comparison with the isotropic case, the correlation length ξ varies with the gap in a strikingly different manner. In particular, it remains nonzero as the gap vanishes, in all the directions except the direction of stronger hopping intensity.
