Superlattice and multi-quantum-well properties of MX compounds

We present a model calculation,using the tight-binding approach,of a one-di mensional heterostructure consisting of regular alternation of two differen t halogen-bridged transition-metal compounds ( MX compounds). Superlattice and multiquantum-well properties can be detected depending on the well-barr ier alternation sequence. We prove the possibility of developing new multi- quantum-well devices based upon MX compounds.
