Abstract

This chapter presents electronic properties of a junction between two semiconductors and electronic states in low-dimensional structures. First, we consider the valence and conduction bands of zincblende and wurtzite bulk semiconductors and illustrate the effects of strain and alloying. Then, models describing the band lineup of heterostructures are introduced and the effect of interface stoichiometry is illustrated. The characteristic scale for the occurrence of size quantization is discussed, and electronic states in quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots are described.
