摘要: It is shown that the midgap levels ${E}_{B}$ used to line up band structures at semiconductor heterostructures maintain a constant energy with respect experimental vacuum level. This implies electron affinity rule for determination of offsets closely related recent lineup theories by Flores and Tejedor, Tersoff, Cardona Christensen.
