Abstract
In the present work we are interested in quantum structures made of direct semiconductors with an inversion-asymmetric zinc blende structure. All important semiconductors in this category, such as GaAs, InSb, and CdTe, have qualitatively a very similar band structure with the smallest gap between the valence and conduction bands occurring at the extended Kane model described in this chapter.
