Theory of invariants-based formulation of $\mathbf{k}\cdot \mathbf{p}$ Hamiltonians with application to strained zinc-blende crystals

Johannes Wanner, Ulrich Eckern, Karl-Heinz Höck

Group theoretical methods and $\mathbf{k}\cdot \mathbf{p}$ theory are combined to determine spin-dependent contributions to the effective conduction band Hamiltonian. To obtain the consta…
