P. Enders, SPECIAL-LINES APPROXIMATION TO BRILLOUIN-ZONE INTEGRATION - IMPROVED SET OF SPECIAL LINES (VOL 11, PG 187, 1996), Semiconductor science and technology, 11(12), 1996, pp. 1927-1929
Kane's Y-star of k-vectors is described in detail for including it int
o the special-lines approximation presented recently [1], which reduce
s 3D Brillouin zone integrals to 1D ones. The account for the anisotro
py of the k . p hole bands in GaAs-like semiconductors becomes almost
exact, as shown by an example (the band non-parabolicity is treated wi
thout approximation.
