The authors review the theory of semiconductor superlattice electronic structure. First a
survey of theoretical methods is presented. These methods can be divided into two general …

Electronic and photonic materials discussed in this handbook are the key elements of
continued scientific and technological advances in the 21st century. The electronic and …

The purpose of this book was to provide a detailed understanding of the basic
semiconductor physics such as properties of electronic, optical, transport, and quantum …

The experimental and theoretical work on carrier dynamics and recombination mechanisms
in semiconductor heterostructures with staggered type II alignments is reviewed. Examples …

Publisher Summary Starting from one-dimensional quantum wells and superlattices, which
are best grown by modern epitaxial techniques, the field of heterostructures is progressively …

A simple theoretical method for calculating superlattice electronic structures based on the
bond-orbital model is presented. The method combines the virtues of the envelope-function …

There are numerous instances in semiconductor nanostructure physics where effective-
mass approximations are deemed insufficient and ''direct diagonalization''approaches that …

A systematic study of the conduction bands of the (001) GaAs/Al x Ga 1− x As and Al x Ga 1−
x As/AlAs superlattices using a one-band Wannier orbital model is presented. The …

A detailed experimental study of the real-space Γ-X transfer in type-II GaAs/AlAs short-period
superlattices and in type-II Al x Ga 1− x As/AlAs multiple-quantum-well structures is …

Despite the fact that over the years crystal chemists have discovered numerous
semiconducting substances, and that modern epitaxial growth techniques are able to …
