Links between two well known methods: methods of zero-range and non-overlapped (muffin-tin) potentials are discussed. Some difficulties of the method of zero-range potentials and its possible elimination are discussed. We argue that such…
Most semiconductors, in particular III-V compounds, have a complex valence band structure near the band edge, due to degeneracy at the zone center. One peculiar feature is the warping of the electronic dispersion relations, which are not…
