β¦ Synopsis
Valence energy subbands and hole effective masses for quantum-well structures have been calculated, using GaInAs-InGaAsP and GaAs-AlGaAs material systems as an example. A Luttinger-Kohn 4 Γ 4 hamiltonian with heavy-hole and light-hole band mixing was used in the calculations. Systematic numerical results have been presented for a range of growth directions, material parameters and quantum well widths.

We studied the wavefunctions and energy positions of the confined states in the valance band in an asymmetric double quantum well. We found these to be extremely sensitive to both the carrier density and the height of the confining barriers, which allows us to control the so-called 'Spin Dependent H
It has been argued in the literature that the parallel mass of the uppermost heavy-hole subband in a quantum well would increase with increasing well width because of the decreasing subband separation which would enhance the interaction between the subbands. From numerical calculations with the Lutt
