Abstract
Novel results on the electronic properties of superlattices of orienta tional domain boundaries in ordered GaInP2 are presented. These superl attices exhibit spatially varying amplitudes for their Bloch states, m odifications to the band gap, and the appearance of sub-bands and mini gaps resulting from periodic perturbations to the angular momentum of electrons. Characteristic features of five distinct polytype structure s are discussed in relation to their symmetries. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd
