SIMPLE MODEL FOR THE INDEX OF REFRACTION OF GaAs-AlAs SUPERLATTICES AND HETEROSTRUCTURE LAYERS: CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STATES AROUND GAMMA .

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Authors present a simple theory of the dielectric function in superlattices. The calculation is performed separately for different symmetry points of the band structure. They assume that among the contributing states only certain states are influenced substantially by size quantization and these electronic states are calculated by using a simplified k-p method. New features of the dielectric constant of superlattices are a fine structure due to zone folding (subbands) and a small anisotropy due to the lower symmetry.
