Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Physics Forums. I have a question regarding k.p theory.
I am keen to design band-diagram, wave-functions of a strained MQW structure. I understand that in strained QWs, Heavy-Hole (and probably light-hole also) effective mass decreases significantly with strain, which consequently affects the subband states in the Hole QW.
Couple of questions I have regarding this are as follows:
1) Does anyone has a model on Mathcad or Mathematica which calculates this? If not can anyone suggest a paper which provides simplified details of how to write the code for this. Unfortunately I am very new to designing field with limited experience in writing code.
2) How can one calculate the strained Heavy and light hole effective masses?
Thanks a million for your help!
Paul M.
ps: I put this message also in the "Beyond the Standard Model" section as I wasnt sure where my question was best to ask...
