An investigation of the variation of the band structure with well width was carried out for electrons, heavy holes, and light holes in GaInAs/AlInAs superlattice and multiple quantum well systems using an effective mass eigenfunction model. Discrete carrier states within the well and discrete transmission resonances above the well were observed.
Keywords: superlattice, multiple quantum wells, band structures, carrier states, energy levels, bound and virtual states, delocalized states, boundedness in superlattices and multiple quantum wells, transmission resonances in superlattices and multiple quantum wells
