The K P Method: Electronic Properties of Semiconductors

by Morten Willatzen, Lok C. Lew Yan Voon, Yan Voon

Book Overview

I ?rst heard of k-p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k-p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical theoretical tool which had become rather useful for the interpre- tion of the cyclotron resonance experiments, as reported by Dresselhaus, Kip and Kittel.
