| dc.description | A small change of basis in k.p theory yields a Kane-like Hamiltonian for the conduction and valence bands of narrow-gap semiconductors that has no spurious solutions, yet provides an accurate fit to all effective masses. The theory is shown to work in superlattices by direct comparison with first-principles density-functional calculations of the valence subband structure. A reinterpretation of the standard data-fitting procedures used in k.p theory is also proposed. | |
