Strain effects in semiconductor quantum wells

In this thesis the effect of the strain which is present in a lattice mismatched quantum well (QW) on the properties of the device is investigated. The k.p method is used within the envelope function framework to obtain the bandstructure and the wave functions of bound and unbound states in both lat...
