Determination of Band-Structure and Absorption Coefficient through k.p method PREPARED FOR COURSE Selected Topics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering EEE 6002 Tonmoy Kumar Bhowmick (0412062260) Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology
Organization: Motivation Theoretical Background Numerical Simulation and Results
Why k.p method Allows to extrapolate the band structure of materials from the knowledge of a restricted set of parameters evaluated in correspondence of a single point of the reciprocal space. semi-empirical approach
Theoretical Background Bloch function The k · p method in homogeneous crystals:
