Structural perfection in poorly lattice matched heterostructures
Continuum elastic theory is applied to the formation of misfit dislocations and point defects in strained layer structures. Explicit calculations of the energies of misfit dislocations in the doubleand single-kink geometries yield line tensions below which strained films are stable with respect to defect formation. Our results yield a mismatch-dependent stability limit which, in the double kink...
متن کاملTheory of Semiconductor Heterostructures for Infrared Applications
The influence of atomic disorder, biaxial strain, space charge and geometry on the bound electron states and the optical and transport properties of semiconductor heterostructures with infrared optoelectronic applications has been investigated. An empirical pseudopotential scheme facilitating the calculation of band structure in strained-layer, disordered heterostructures has been delineated an...

متن کاملQuadratic response theory for spin-orbit coupling in semiconductor heterostructures
This paper examines the properties of the self-energy operator in lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures, focusing on nonanalytic behavior at small values of the crystal momentum, which gives rise to longrange Coulomb potentials. A nonlinear response theory is developed for nonlocal spin-dependent perturbing potentials. The ionic pseudopotential of the heterostructure is treated as a pe...
متن کاملMacroscopic Models for Semiconductor Heterostructures
The semiconductor Boltzmann equation is considered within a material with a space-dependent band characteristic. Its uid limit under strong elastic collisions leads to the so-called Spherical Harmonics Expansion (SHE) model. For this model, the innuence of smoothly space-dependent or abruptly dis-continuous band characteristics is analyzed. For the latter case which occurs at heterojunction int...
