A flavor of the k·p perturbation theory used for calculating the structure of multiple, degenerate electronic bands in bulk and quantum well semiconductors. The method is a generalization of the single band k.p theory. In this model the influence of all other bands is taken into account by using Löwdin's perturbation method.〔 〕 == Background == All bands can be subdivided into two classes (Figure 1): * Class A: six valence bands (heavy hole, light hole, split off band and their spin counterparts) and two conduction bands. * Class B: all other bands. The method concentrates on the bands in ''Class A'', and takes into account ''Class B'' bands perturbatively. We can write the perturbed solution : : Assuming the unperturbed eigenstates are orthonormalized, the eigenequation are: :, where :. From this expression we can write: :, where the first sum on the right-hand side is over the states in class A only, while the second sum is over the states on class B. Since we are interested in the coefficients for ''m'' in class A, we may eliminate those in class B by an iteration procedure to obtain: :, : Equivalently, for (): : and :. When the coefficients belonging to Class A are determined so are . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luttinger–Kohn model」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
