In this paper a multi-band envelope-function Hamiltonian for lattice-matched semiconductor heterostructures is derived from first-principles norm-conserving pseudopotentials. The theory is applicable to isovalent or heterovalent…
We present a new method for calculating electronic states in low-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures, which is based on the real-space Hamiltonian in the envelope function approximation. The numerical implementation of the method is…
We consider the behaviour of quantum Hall edges away from the Luttinger liquid fixed point that occurs in the low energy, large system limit. Using the close links between quantum Hall wavefunctions and conformal field theories we construct…
A procedure is presented that combines density functional theory computations of bulk semiconductor alloys with the semiconductor Bloch equations, in order to achieve an ab initio based prediction of the optical properties of semiconductor…
Effective mass equations are the simplest models of carrier states in a semiconductor structures that reduce the complexity of a solid-state system to Schr\"odinger- or Pauli-like equations resempling those well known from quantum mechanics…
The envelope function method traditionally employs a single basis set which, in practice, relates to a single material because the $k\cdot p$ matrix elements are generally only known in a particular basis. In this work, we defined a basis…

A procedure to obtain single-electron wavefunctions within the tight-binding formalism is proposed. It is based on linear combinations of Slater-type orbitals whose screening coefficients are extracted from the optical matrix elements of…
The quantization of Hall conductance in a p-type heterojunction with lateral surface quantum dot superlattice is investigated. The topological properties of the four-component hole wavefunction are studied both in r- and k-spaces. New…
We consider 1D lattices described by Hubbard or Bose-Hubbard models, in the presence of periodic high-frequency perturbations, such as uniform ac force or modulation of hopping coefficients. Effective Hamiltonians for interacting particles…
We propose a first principles effective medium formalism to study the propagation of electron waves in semiconductor heterostructures with a zero-band gap. Our theory confirms that near the K-point the dynamics of a two-dimensional electron…
A multi-band effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for lattice-matched semiconductor nanostructures in a slowly varying external magnetic field. The theory is derived from the first-principles magnetic-field coupling Hamiltonian of Pickard…
We propose an implementation of external homogeneous magnetic fields in k$\cdot$p Hamiltonians for holes in heterostructures, in which we made use of the minimal coupling prior to introduce the envelope function approximation. Illustrative…
We present the metamorphosis in the effective-potential profile of layered heterostructures, for several III-V semiconductor binary compounds, when the band mixing of light and heavy holes increases. A root-locus-like procedure, is directly…
We derive the Hamiltonian for cold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice across a broad Feshbach resonance, taking into account of both multiband occupations and neighboring-site collisions. Under typical configurations, the resulting…
The electron spectrum in a uniform nanowire with a hexagonal cross-section is calculated by means of a numerical diagonalization of the effective-mass Hamiltonian. Two basis sets are utilized. The wave-functions of low-lying states are…
We derive a nonsymmetrized 8-band effective-mass Hamiltonian for quantum-dot heterostructures (QDHs) in Burt's envelope-function representation. The 8x8 radial Hamiltonian and the boundary conditions for the Schroedinger equation are…
We formulate the multi-band kp theory of hyperfine interactions for semiconductor nanostructures in the envelope function approximation. We apply this theoretical description to the fluctuations of the longitudinal and transverse Overhauser…
The electronic band structure of cubic HfO2 is calculated using an it ab initio all-electron self--consistent linear augmented plane-wave method, within the framework of the local-density approximation and taking into account…
We consider a single particle tunnelling in a tight-binding model with nearest-neighbour couplings, in the presence of a periodic high-frequency force. An effective Hamiltonian for the particle is derived using an averaging method…
