The zone boundaries for a two-dimensional centered rectangular lattice are obtained by drawing perpendicular bisectors between the origin and the nearby reciprocal points. As explained earlier, the nth Brillouin zone is constituted of the set of points in reciprocal space that is closer to the n ...

Since the crystalline potential is periodic, an expansion of the electron energy band can be made in terms of vectors of the direct lattice. This method is applied to GaAs and Si quantum wells and quantum wires with square and rectangular cross sections...
Since the crystalline potential is periodic, an expansion of the electron energy band can be made in terms of vectors of the direct lattice. This method is applied to GaAs and Si quantum wells and quantum wires with square and rectangular cross sections of [001] and [110] orientation, and ...
