Electronic structures of GaAs -AlAs superlattices

Abstract:This is the report which discusses the electronic band structure of microscopic superlatteces with use of an improved tight binding method developed by the author, especially, in GaAs - AlAs system of both (100) and (111) directionsis. The dispersion relation is calculated and the effect of spin-orbitinteraction to the states at the top of valence band is discussed in detail. The author predict the anomaly in the optical polarization associated with the absorption or emission of light in (100) and (111) superlattices depending on the atomic layer number combinations (m,n) in the (GaAs)m/(AlAs)n.
