Band offsets in strained layer superlattices

  Band offsets at semiconductor heterojunctions have been shown to be critically dependent on a number of factors. By applying the ab-initio pseudopotential method to the strained InGaAs/GaAs superlattice, we have been able to determine the dependence of the offsets on the strain in the system and o...
