Modeling of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Low Dimensional Semiconductor Structures

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the general methodology to carry out qualitatively reliable and quantitatively precise calculations of electronic band structure of heterostructures that are essential in the realistic modeling and prediction of device performance in technologically important semiconductor devices, which can proceed relatively independently of experiment.
