摘要: This chapter applies the finite element method to k ⋅ p equations describing electronic states in semiconductor nanostructures. It highlights advantages over other discretization methods and discusses crucial ingredients order obtain accurate results. One particular issue, appearance of unphysical or spurious solutions, is demonstrated emerge from an inconsistency continuum equation system, not discretization, two causes are identified whose correct treatment leads elimination such solutions.
