$zb-default-expectations

Number of expected parameters for zinc blende materials.

$zb-default-expectations                   required
 number-of-8x8kp-parameters      integer   required
 number-of-6x6kp-parameters      integer   required
 number-uniax-vb-def-pots        integer   required
$end_zb-default-expectations               required

Specify here how many parameters are expected.

number-of-8x8kp-parameters

type:

integer

presence:

required

value:

6

We need 6 parameters for the 8-band \(\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{p}\) model in zinc blende.

number-of-6x6kp-parameters

type:

integer

presence:

required

value:

4

We need 4 parameters for the 6-band \(\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{p}\) model in zinc blende.

number-of-uniax-vb-def-pots

type:

integer

presence:

required

value:

2

We need 2 parameters for the uniaxial valence band deformation potentials in zinc blende (2 numbers usually: b, d).
