Valence-band Energies of GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP V-groove [1-10] Quantum Wires
Comparison between the Burt-Foreman and Luttinger-Kohn valence-band Hamiltonians have been performed for realistic V-groove GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP quantum wires. Significant differences in band structure is only found for InGaAs/InP quantum wires.
