Abstract
We present a theoretical study of electron and hole states in InAs/GaS b superlattices using a realistic: microscopic pseudopotential complex -band-structure approach. A rectangular potential is used to predict t he critical in-plane magnetic field that will result in a semiconducti ng state for a variety of InAs/GaSb superlattices. It is found that th e critical held is insensitive to increases in superlattice period bey ond a particular value.
