Electronic and Optical Properties of Semiconductors: A Study Based on the Empirical Tight Binding Model

by Lok C. Lew Yan Voon

This study is a theoretical investigation of the electronic and optical properties of intrinsic semiconductors using the orthogonal empirical tight binding model. An analysis of the bulk properties of semiconductors with the zincblende, diamond and rocksalt structures has been carried out. We have extended the work of others to higher order in the interaction integrals and derived new parameter sets for certain semiconductors which better fit the...
