摘要: The directional, density-of-states, and carrier-concentration effective masses of light, heavy, split-off holes have been calculated for strained Si1−xCx alloys on Si (001) substrate. results the directional mass show that effect strain makes constant energy surface light near band edge more symmetric than in pure silicon. heavy hole bands is rather regular; up to 7% carbon concentration monotonically reduces density-of-states two at values within interval 0.4eV below valence edge. This reduction obtained temperatures from 0to600K. less trivial; nonzero concentrations influences a similar way as it does but irregu...
