Analytical Envelope-Function Theory of Interface Band Mixing

نویسنده

  • Bradley A. Foreman
چکیده

An analytical theory of intervalley mixing at semiconductor heterojunctions is presented. Burt’s envelope-function representation is used to analyze a pseudopotential Hamiltonian, yielding a simple d-function mixing between G and X electrons and light and heavy holes. This coupling exists even for media differing only by a constant band offset (i.e., with no difference in Bloch functions). [S0031-9007(98)06534-X]

A review on EEG based brain computer interface systems feature extraction methods

The brain – computer interface (BCI) provides a communicational channel between human and machine. Most of these systems are based on brain activities. Brain Computer-Interfacing is a methodology that provides a way for communication with the outside environment using the brain thoughts. The success of this methodology depends on the selection of methods to process the brain signals in each pha...

Instability, intermixing and electronic structure at the epitaxial LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) heterojunction

The question of stability against diffusional mixing at the prototypical LaAlO3/SrTiO3(001) interface is explored using a multi-faceted experimental and theoretical approach. We combine analytical methods with a range of sensitivities to elemental concentrations and spatial separations to investigate interfaces grown using on-axis pulsed laser deposition. We also employ computational modeling b...

Cement-Implant Interface Fracture Failure by Crack Initiation Due to Interface Cavity Stress Concentration

Nowadays total joint replacements are widely used in the world, so in average 800,000 joint surgeries are done yearly only in Europe and North America. However implant loosening is and remains as the major issue of all implant failures and therefore causes revision surgery procedures. Studies and experiments have identified poor fixation of implants most likely is the main cause of long term im...

Se p 19 99 Ψ = 0 at a Sharp Semiconductor / Insulator Interface . Is This Correct ?

The generalized boundary conditions for the envelope wave function that take into account the real structure of an interface were used to investigate the hole spectrum of the semiconductor quantum dot embedded in an insulator matrix. An essential influence of the interface levels, which could exist at the top of the valence band, on the hole spectrum has been demonstrated. It is found that usua...
