Tóm tắt

At heterostructure boundaries under effective mass approximation, the parallel momentum conservation results in the coupling between the perpendicular and parallel kinetic energies. We present the first results of fully self-consistent calculations including these kinetic energy coupling effects using a newly developed self-consistent Schrodinger-Poisson equation solver. As an application, we apply this solver to the calculation of intersubband optical absorption coefficients in QW structures.
