| All bands can be subdivided into two classes (Figure 1):
| |
| | |
| * '''Class A''': six valence bands (heavy hole, light hole, split off band and their spin counterparts) and two conduction bands.
| |
| | |
| * '''Class B''': all other bands.
| |
| | |
| The method concentrates on the bands in ''Class A'', and takes into account ''Class B'' bands perturbatively.
| |
| | |
| We can write the perturbed solution <math>\phi^{}_{}</math> as a linear combination of the unperturbed eigenstates <math>\phi^{(0)}_{i}</math>:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\phi = \sum^{A,B}_{n} a_{n} \phi^{(0)}_{i}</math>
| |
| | |
| Assuming the unperturbed eigenstates are orthonormalized, the eigenequation are:
| |
| | |
| :<math>(E-H_{mm})a_m = \sum^{A}_{n\neq m}H_{mn}a_{n} + \sum^{B}_{\alpha \neq m}H_{m\alpha}a_{\alpha}</math>,
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| | |
| :<math>H_{mn} = \int \phi^{(0)\dagger}_{m} H \phi^{(0)}_{n}d^3 \mathbf{r} = E^{(0)}_{n}\delta_{mn}+H^{'}_{mn}</math>.
| |
| | |
| From this expression we can write:
| |
| | |
| :<math>a_{m} = \sum^{A}_{n\neq m} \frac{H_{mn}}{E-H_{mm}} a_{n} + \sum^{B}_{\alpha\neq m} \frac{H_{m\alpha}}{E-H_{mm}} a_{\alpha} </math>,
| |
| | |
| where the first sum on the right-hand side is over the states in class A only, while the second sum is over the states on class B. Since we are interested in the coefficients <math>a_{m}</math> for ''m'' in class A, we may eliminate those in class B by an iteration procedure to obtain:
| |
| | |
| :<math>a_{m} = \sum^{A}_{n\neq m} \frac{U^{A}_{mn} - H_{mn}}{E-H_{mm}} a_{n} </math>,
| |
| | |
| :<math>U^{A}_{mn} = H_{mn} + \sum^{B}_{\alpha\neq m} \frac{H_{m\alpha}H_{\alpha n}}{E-H_{\alpha\alpha}} + \sum_{\alpha,\beta\neq m,n;\alpha\neq\beta} \frac{H_{m \alpha} H_{\alpha\beta}H_{\beta n} }{(E-H_{\alpha\alpha})(E-H_{\beta\beta})} + \ldots </math>
| |
| | |
| Equivalentrly, for <math> a_{n} </math> (<math> n \in A </math>):
| |
| | |
| :<math>a_{n} = \sum^{A}_{n} (U^{A}_{mn} - E\delta_{mn})a_{n} = 0, m \in A </math>
| |
| | |
| and | |
| | |
| :<math> a_{\gamma} = \sum^{A}_{n} \frac{ U^{A}_{\gamma n} - H_{\gamma n}\delta_{\gamma n}}{E-H_{\gamma\gamma}} a_{n} = 0, \gamma \in B </math>.
| |
| | |
| When the coefficients <math> a_{n} </math> belonging to Class A are determined so are <math> a_{\gamma} </math>.

| == Schrödinger equation and basis functions ==
| |
| | |
| The [[Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)|Hamiltonian]] including the spin-orbit interaction can be written as:
| |
| | |
| :<math> H = H_0 + \frac{\hbar}{4m_{0}^{2}c^{2}}\bar{\sigma}\cdot\nabla V \times \mathbf{p} </math>,
| |
| | |
| where <math> \bar{\sigma} </math> is the [[Pauli spin matrix]] vector. Substituting into the [[Schrödinger equation]] we obtain
| |
| | |
| :<math> H u_{n\mathbf{k}}(\mathbf{r}) = \left( H_0 + \frac{\hbar}{m_{0}}\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{\Pi} + \frac{\hbar^2 k^2}{4m_{0}^{2}c^{2}} \nabla V \times \mathbf{p} \cdot \bar{\sigma} \right) u_{n\mathbf{k}}(\mathbf{r}) = E_{n}(\mathbf{k}) u_{n\mathbf{k}}(\mathbf{r}) </math>,
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| | |
| :<math> \mathbf{\Pi} = \mathbf{p} + \frac{\hbar}{4m_{0}^{2}c^{2}}\bar{\sigma} \times \nabla V </math>
| |
| | |
| and the perturbation Hamiltonian can be defined as | |
| | |
| :<math> H' = \frac{\hbar}{m_0}\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{\Pi}. </math>
| |
| | |
| The unperturbed Hamiltonian refers to the band-edge spin-orbit system (for ''k''=0). At the band edge, conduction band [[Bloch waves]] exhibit s-like symmetry, whole valence band states are p-like (3-fold degenerate without spin). Let us denote these states as <math> |S \rangle </math>, and <math> |X \rangle </math>, <math> |Y \rangle </math> and <math> |Z \rangle </math> respectively. These Bloch functions can be pictured as periodic repetition of atomic orbitals, repeated at intervals correcsponding to the lattice spacing. The Bloch function can be expanded in the following manner
| |
| | |
| :<math> u_{n \mathbf{k}} (\mathbf{r}) = \sum^{A}_{j'} a_{j'}(\mathbf{k}) u_{j'0}(\mathbf{r}) + \sum^{B}_{\gamma} a_{\gamma}(\mathbf{k}) u_{\gamma 0}(\mathbf{r}) </math>,
| |
| | |
| where ''j' '' is in Class A and <math> \gamma </math> is in Class B. The basis functions can be chosen to be
| |
| | |
| :<math> u_{10}(\mathbf{r}) = u_{el}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | S\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = \left|S\uparrow\right\rangle </math>
| |
| :<math> u_{20}(\mathbf{r}) = u_{SO}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} |(X+iY)\downarrow\rangle + \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} |Z\uparrow\rangle </math>
| |
| :<math> u_{30}(\mathbf{r}) = u_{lh}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = -\frac{1}{\sqrt 6} |(X+iY)\downarrow\rangle + \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} |Z\uparrow\rangle </math>
| |
| :<math> u_{40}(\mathbf{r}) = u_{hh}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | S\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{2} \right \rangle = -\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}|(X+iY)\uparrow\rangle </math> | |
| :<math> u_{50}(\mathbf{r}) = \bar{u}_{el}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | S\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = -|S\downarrow\rangle </math>
| |
| :<math> u_{60}(\mathbf{r}) = \bar{u}_{SO}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | \frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} |(X-iY)\uparrow\rangle - \frac{1}{\sqrt 3} |Z\downarrow\rangle </math> | |
| :<math> u_{70}(\mathbf{r}) = \bar{u}_{lh}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | \frac{3}{2},-\frac{1}{2} \right \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt 6} |(X-iY)\uparrow\rangle + \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} |Z\downarrow\rangle </math>
| |
| :<math> u_{80}(\mathbf{r}) = \bar{u}_{hh}(\mathbf{r}) = \left | \frac{3}{2},-\frac{3}{2} \right \rangle = -\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}|(X-iY)\downarrow\rangle </math>.
| |
| | |
| Using Löwdin's method, only the following eigenvalue problem needs to be solved
| |
| | |
| :<math> \sum^{A}_{j'} (U^{A}_{jj'}-E\delta_{jj'})a_{j'}(\mathbf{k}) = 0, </math>
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| | |
| :<math> U^{A}_{jj'} = H_{jj'} + \sum^{B}_{\gamma \neq j,j'} \frac{H_{j\gamma}H_{\gamma j'}}{E_0-E_{\gamma}} = H_{jj'} + \sum^{B}_{\gamma \neq j,j'} \frac{H^{'}_{j\gamma}H^{'}_{\gamma j'}}{E_0-E_{\gamma}} </math>,
| |
| | |
| :<math> H^{'}_{j\gamma} = \left \langle u_{j0} \right | \frac{\hbar}{m_0} \mathbf{k} \cdot \left ( \mathbf{p} + \frac{\hbar}{4 m_0 c^2} \bar{\sigma} \times \nabla V \right ) \left | u_{\gamma 0} \right \rangle \approx \sum_{\alpha} \frac{\hbar k_{\alpha}}{m_0}p^{\alpha}_{j \gamma}. </math>
| |
| | |
| The second term of '''<math> \Pi </math>''' can be neglected compared to the similar term with '''p''' instead of '''k'''. Similarly to the single band case, we can write for <math> U^{A}_{jj'} </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> D_{jj'} \equiv U^{A}_{jj'} = E_{j}(0)\delta_{jj'} + \sum_{\alpha\beta} D^{\alpha\beta}_{jj'}k_{\alpha}k_{\beta}, </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> D^{\alpha\beta}_{jj'} = \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m_0} \left [ \delta_{jj'}\delta_{\alpha\beta} + \sum^{B}_{\gamma} \frac{ p^{\alpha}_{j\gamma}p^{\beta}_{\gamma j'} + p^{\beta}_{j\gamma}p^{\alpha}_{\gamma j'} }{ m_0 (E_0-E_{\gamma}) } \right ]. </math>
| |
| | |
| We now define the following parameters
| |
| | |
| :<math> A_0 = \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m_0} + \frac{\hbar^2}{m_0^2} \sum^{B}_{\gamma} \frac{ p^{x}_{x\gamma}p^{x}_{\gamma x} }{ E_0-E_{\gamma} }, </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> B_0 = \frac{\hbar^2}{2 m_0} + \frac{\hbar^2}{m_0^2} \sum^{B}_{\gamma} \frac{ p^{y}_{x\gamma}p^{y}_{\gamma x} }{ E_0-E_{\gamma} }, </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> C_0 = \frac{\hbar^2}{m_0^2} \sum^{B}_{\gamma} \frac{ p^{x}_{x\gamma}p^{y}_{\gamma y} + p^{y}_{x\gamma}p^{x}_{\gamma y} }{ E_0-E_{\gamma} }, </math>
| |
| | |
| and the band structure parameters (or the '''[[Luttinger parameters]]''') can be defined to be
| |
| | |
| :<math> \gamma_1 = - \frac{1}{3} \frac{2 m_0}{\hbar^2} (A_0 + 2B_0), </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> \gamma_2 = - \frac{1}{6} \frac{2 m_0}{\hbar^2} (A_0 - B_0), </math>
| |
| | |
| :<math> \gamma_3 = - \frac{1}{6} \frac{2 m_0}{\hbar^2} C_0, </math>
| |
| | |
| These parameters are very closely related to the effective masses of the holes in various valence bands. <math> \gamma_1 </math> and <math> \gamma_2 </math> describe the coupling of the <math> |X \rangle </math>, <math> |Y \rangle </math> and <math> |Z \rangle </math> states to the other states. The third parameter <math> \gamma_3 </math> relates to the anisotropy of the energy band structure around the <math> \Gamma </math> point when <math> \gamma_2 \neq \gamma_3 </math>.
| |
| | |
| == Explicit Hamiltonian matrix ==
| |
| | |
| The Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian <math> \mathbf{D_{jj'}} </math> can be written explicitly as a 8X8 matrix (taking into account 8 bands - 2 conduction, 2 heavy-holes, 2 light-holes and 2 split-off)
| |
| | |
| :<math> \mathbf{H} = \left( \begin{array}{cccccccc} | |
| | |
| E_{el} & P_z & \sqrt{2}P_z & -\sqrt{3}P_{+} & 0 & \sqrt{2}P_{-} & P_{-} & 0 \\
| |
| P_z^{\dagger} & P+\Delta & \sqrt{2}Q^{\dagger} & -S^{\dagger}/\sqrt{2} & -\sqrt{2}P_{+}^{\dagger} & 0 & -\sqrt{3/2}S & -\sqrt{2}R \\
