Multi-band k•p self-consistent calculations |
|
Calculations are based on self-consistent multi-band k•p method with symmetrized boundary conditions. Matrix part of calculations are done using LAPACK library. The following models are realized:
- Kane eight band model,
- Luttinger-Kohn six valence band model,
- Luttinger-Kohn six valence band with conduction band model,
- Luttinger-Kohn four valence band model,
- Luttinger-Kohn four valence band with conduction band model,
- Effective mass conduction band model.
