Luttinger–Kohn model
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Luttinger–Kohn model is a flavor of the k·p perturbation theory used for calculating the structure of multiple, degenerate electronic bands in bulk and quantum well semiconductors. The method is a generalization of the single band k·p theory.
In this model, the influence of all other bands is taken into account by using Löwdin's perturbation method.[1]
