Multi-Band Effective Mass Approximations: Advanced Mathematical Models and Numerical Techniques

This book addresses several mathematical models from the most relevant class of kp-Schrödinger systems. Both mathematical models and state-of-the-art numerical methods for adequately solving the arising systems of differential equations are presented. The operational principle of modern semiconductor nano structures, such as quantum wells, quantum wires or quantum dots, relies on quantum mechanical effects.

The goal of numerical simulations using quantum mechanical models in the development ...
