Boundary conditions in the envelope function approximation as applied to semiconductor heterostructures

Pistol, Mats-Erik LU (2002) Proceedings of 7th International Conference on Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology and 21st European Conference on Surface Science (NANO-7/ECOSS-21)
Abstract
We have found the equations that determine the self-adjoint extensions, and thus the boundary conditions, of the differential operator used in the multi-band k·p-theory, when the coefficients in the Kane-matrix are piecewise constant. Both the one-dimensional and the three-dimensional case have been investigated. Numerical simulations of the energy eigenvalues in a quantum well has been performed, using different boundary conditions, illustrating the energy shift expected
