Symmetry in Semiconductors 1102-5`SwPP
In this lecture the influence of the symmetry of crystals on electronic energy bands in semiconductors is considered. The main aim is to present the effective mass approximation and kp method.

1. Groups and representations
2. Symmetry of crystals
3. Consequences of the symmetry of quantum systems
4. Consequences of translational symmetry of crystals
5. Consequences of space symmetry of crystals
6. Effective mass approximation and kp method
7. Two dimensional electron gas in semiconductors
Prerequisites: Quantum Mechanics I.
