2 Effectie mass Inersely proportional to the curature of the k-space energy dispersion Effectie mass: positie for the CB and negatie for the VB «Hole» in the VB like an electron in the CB. Actually, a hole is a missing electron in the VB! Effectie mass Direct bandgap (GaAs): the CB is isotropic around k=0 (s state) Isotropic effectie mass : The mobility does not depend on the electron motion direction in the crystal Indirect bandgap (i): the CB is anisotropic around the CB energy minimum Energy surface E(k)=constant is no longer a sphere, but a series of ellipsoids oriented along the 3 directions Effectie mass Effectie mass What will be the effectie mass of an electron in AlGaAs alloy?

8 During growth, the surface is free of strain and can freely moe along the growth axis (3). Thus, it leads to σ 13 = 0 σ 3 = 0 σ 33 = 0 In the layer plane, the deformations are identical: ε 11 = ε = ε // ε 1 = 0 riew Oer Lt Let us write ε 0 = ε 33 and ε // = (a c -a c0 )/a 0 c with a c = a 0 s Problem: 1 unknown alues, with 6 components of the deformations and 6 components of the strain tensor, but with the 6 conditions just mentioned, only 6 are left with 6 equations goerned by the Hooke s law. After changing the coordinate system and taking into account the crystal symmetry, it follows: Epitaxial growth system [h,k,l] = [001]: ε 13 =0 σ 11 = σ = ε // (C 11 +C 1 )(C 11 -C 1 )/C 11 riew Oer [h,k,l] = [111]: ε = - C 1 /C 11 ε // ε 13 = 0 σ 11 = σ = ε // 6C 44( (C 11+C 1) )/(C 11+C 1+4C 44) ) ε = - (C 11 +C 1 -C 44 )/(C 11 +C 1 +4C 44 ) ε //
9 train effect on band structure The crystal symmetry is changed and thereby the band structure The Hamiltonian can be written as the sum of two components: a purely hydrostatic term H H and a shear strain term H. train effect on band structure Σ H =(1C (1-C 1 /C 11 )ε // Hydrostatic Σ = - (1+C 1 /C 11 )ε // hear «Hydrostatic» term H = H H +H 1. Conduction band Due to symmetry reasons, only the hydrostatic component plays on the CB E C changes by δe C = a c Σ H with a c the CB potential of deformation CB VB Hydrostatic (compression) shear hh lh. Valence band The hydrostatic component modifies the VB edge E by δe V = a Σ H with a the VB potential of deformation train effect on band structure «hear» term The shear strain deeply affects the ordering of the alence band leels l (hh, lh, and «spin-orbit»).
