Electronic Properties of Flat-Band Semiconductor Heterostructures
Abstract
A new theory of the electronic properties of heterostructures is proposed. Linear combinations of Bloch waves, both propagating and evanescent, are matched across the interface. This leads to simple continuity conditions on the envelope functions, which can be used to solve any heterostructure problem. Calculated optical transitions in GaAs-AlGaAs and InAs-GaSb heterostructures show good agreement with experiment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
