Abstract
The conduction band energy levels and wavefunctions in a number of superlattices with more than two layers per unit cell have been calculated using an effective mass model. Many of these structures exhibit energy levels which can be modeled as resulting from a conventional superlattice with a modified bulk conduction band minimum in the effective wells. These structures should be useful for extending the size of the superlattice periodsallowed in strained—layer superlattices.Keywords
