8 band k.p theory for bandgap?

11 April 2017 1 7K Report

I am trying to use k.p theory to calculate bandgap of range of nanowire diameters. Can someone show me any example file in Matlab or script in any other language? Also if someone can suggest book for the beginning user?

Please check the following reference for a general picture with an 8 times 8 hamiltonian and how to calculate the matrix elements in the case we use the term k.p in semiconductors, it is instructive:

Evaluation of matrix elements of the 8×8 k⋅p Hamiltonian with k-dependent spin-orbit contributions for the zinc-blende structure of GaAs by T. E. Ostromek Phys. Rev. B 54, 14467, 1996.

Article Evaluation of matrix elements of the 8× 8 k⋅ p Hamiltonian w...
