Abstract: | A method, which can predict the valence band offsets at strained layer heterojunctions under different strain situations only by calculating band structures and deformation parameters of the bulk materials, is suggested. The applicability of this method is verified by calculation of the valence band offsets at strained layer heterojuntions ,such as InP/InAs, InP/GaP, GaAs/InAs, GaP/GaAs and AlAs/InAs with various strain conditions. |
