1. Electronic band structure

   12 Apr 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Saumitra Raj Mehrotra, Gerhard Klimeck

   In solid-state physics, the electronic band structure (or simply band structure) of a solid describes ranges of energy in which an electron is "forbidden" or "allowed". The band structure is also often called the dispersion or the E(k) relationship. It is a mathematical...

2. Band Structure Lab Demonstration: Bulk Strain

   12 Jun 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

   This video shows an electronic structure calculation of bulk Si using Band Structure Lab. Several powerful features of this tool are demonstrated.

3. Periodic Potential Lab Demonstration: Standard Kroenig-Penney Model

   11 Jun 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck, Benjamin P Haley

   This video shows the simulation of a 1D square well using the Periodic Potential Lab. The calculated output includes plots of the allowed energybands, a table of the band edges and band gaps, plots of reduced and expanded dispersion relations, and plots comparing the dispersion relations to those...
