Computational Methods for Superlattice Structures: Renormalization and Recursion Techniques
Abstract
We summarize in this final report the main results and findings of the theoretical study of the electronic structure of superlattices which we have performed. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the experimental and theoretical study of the electronic properties of superlattices, related heterostructures and quantum wells, as well as two- dimensional structures and surfaces in general. The reason of such attention is certainly not a matter of fashion: there are deep motivations and ambitious perspectives. The importance of the electronic and optical properties of superlattices is best appreciated within the general framework of the study of quantum electronic microstructures, i.e. systems where the electronic wavelength becomes comparable to the size of the alternating layers which form the superlattices structure.
