Description
We develop multiscale models for calculating optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanostructures (like nanowires or platelets), by combining strain and piezoelectric models with a generalized multiband k · p approach. Theoretical analysis complements consistent data-driven identification of material parameters from up-to-date ab initio band structures.

Ab initio-based Parameter extraction for multiband k · p models
Band structure obtained from fitting a 16-band k · p model (black solid) to ab initio data (red dash-dotted) using low-discrepancy point sets.
