Lecture
Semiconductor Band Structure
Description
This lecture delves into the k.p method to derive semiconductor band structures, addressing direct and indirect bandgap semiconductors, effective masses, and the complexity of valence band extrema. It explains the isotropic and anisotropic nature of dispersion curves, the Luttinger Hamiltonian, and the impact of spin-orbit interactions on the valence band.
