BREAKDOWN OF THREE DIMENSIONAL EFFECTIVE MASS APPROXIMATION IN NARROW SUPERLATTICES
Overview & Synopsis
In the limit of very narrow superlattices, a theory using three dimensional effective mass approximation becomes inadequate. We have studied at which stage this approximation becomes poor and what is the magnitude of the corresponding error. We also present a two dimensional treatment which proves to be valid for a number of planes varying from 1 to about 15. This treatment allows the calculation of the binding energy with respect to the "exact" energy of the bottom of the corresponding subband. It applies equally well to each of the subbands.
