Theory of Heterojunction Discontinuities.

Abstract

The problem of theoretically understanding and predicting the energy band lineups at abrupt semiconductor heterojunctions was investigated. Methods were developed that represent a significant advance in the problem and that permit a prediction of the band edge discontinuities from the known energy band structures, by means of self-consistent pseudopotential calculations.
