Theory of finite periodic systems: The eigenfunctions symmetries

Materials Science 2017-04-05 v2

Abstract

Using the analytical expressions for the genuine eigenfunctions φμν(z)\varphi_{\mu\nu}(z) and eigenvalues Eμ,νE_{\mu,\nu}, of open, bounded and quasi-bounded finite periodic systems, we derive the eigenfunctions space-inversion symmetry relations. The superlattice eigenfunctions symmetries, closely related with the symmetries and zeros of the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind UnU_n, are fully written in terms of the number of unit cells nn, the subband index μ\mu and the intra-subband index ν\nu.
