155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

A six-band **k.p envelope-function solver** for wurtzite heterostructures,
|
|
30
|
+
solved **self-consistently with Poisson's equation** on a 1D grid. Built
|
|
31
|
+
for polarization-induced two-dimensional hole gases (GaN/AlN and related
|
|
32
|
+
systems), where the confining potential is not imposed but emerges from
|
|
33
|
+
the balance between the fixed polarization charge and the gas itself.

## Status
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
v0.2.0 (alpha). Implemented and tested:
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
- six-band wurtzite valence Hamiltonian (standard Chuang-Chang form),
|
|
40
|
+
discretized with symmetrized operator ordering so the matrix is exactly
|
|
41
|
+
Hermitian for position-dependent parameters
|
|
42
|
+
- envelope eigen-solution at arbitrary in-plane k
|
|
43
|
+
- Gauss-law hole potential from the density profile
|
|
44
|
+
- self-consistent loop with T = 0 subband filling using numeric in-plane
|
|
45
|
+
edge masses, converging to charge neutrality
|
|
46
|
+
- cited GaN and AlN parameter sets with closed-form verification
|
|
47
|
+
(new in v0.2, see below)
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
Not yet implemented, stated plainly because they matter physically:
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
- **finite barriers.** Hard walls one grid spacing outside the grid ends.
|
|
52
|
+
A hard wall forces the envelope to vanish at the interface and pushes
|
|
53
|
+
the gas outward, which shifts subband energies and masses; a finite AlN
|
|
54
|
+
barrier treated as position-dependent material parameters is the v0.3
|
|
55
|
+
gate before research-grade use.
|
|
56
|
+
- strain terms, full k-grid (non-parabolic) filling, spin splitting
|
|
57
|
+
analysis, transport lifetimes.
|
|
58

|

deliberately NaN, and the self-consistent solver refuses to run on it,

The test-suite locks every number and checks the GaN set against closed

Convention: valence-electron energies, holes occupy the highest

eigenvalues; energies in eV, lengths in nm, sheet densities in nm^-2.
|

105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
## Verification
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
The test-suite checks Hermiticity with every coupling switched on, the
|
|
109
|
+
decoupled square-well limit against the analytic spectrum, the uniform
|
|
110
|
+
slab against the analytic Gauss-law potential, convergence plus exact
|
|
111
|
+
charge neutrality of the self-consistent loop, and (new in v0.2) the
|
|
112
|
+
cited GaN set against the closed-form quasi-cubic splittings and masses
|
|
113
|
+
above.
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
One comparison against the source paper is on record and stated honestly:
|
|
116
|
+
a hard-wall self-consistent run at the measured sheet density
|
|
117
|
+
(4.6e13 cm^-2, 97 points over 6 nm) puts the gas centroid at 0.62 nm
|
|
118
|
+
against 0.568 nm for the hard-wall row of the paper's Table S1, with the
|
|
119
|
+
same subband structure (two heavy branches filled, the light branch a
|
|
120
|
+
minority). The difference comes from the filling model: this package
|
|
121
|
+
fills parabolic edge-mass subbands, while the paper fills the computed
|
|
122
|
+
non-parabolic dispersions, and the light branch is strongly
|
|
123
|
+
non-parabolic. Together with the hard-wall boundary this is why the same
|
|
124
|
+
warning stands: do not use these numbers in publications before the
|
|
125
|
+
finite-barrier, dispersion-filled v0.3.

A six-band **k.p envelope-function solver** for wurtzite heterostructures,
|
|
6
|
+
solved **self-consistently with Poisson's equation** on a 1D grid. Built
|
|
7
|
+
for polarization-induced two-dimensional hole gases (GaN/AlN and related
|
|
8
|
+
systems), where the confining potential is not imposed but emerges from
|
|
9
|
+
the balance between the fixed polarization charge and the gas itself.

## Status
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
v0.2.0 (alpha). Implemented and tested:
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
- six-band wurtzite valence Hamiltonian (standard Chuang-Chang form),
|
|
16
|
+
discretized with symmetrized operator ordering so the matrix is exactly
|
|
17
|
+
Hermitian for position-dependent parameters
|
|
18
|
+
- envelope eigen-solution at arbitrary in-plane k
|
|
19
|
+
- Gauss-law hole potential from the density profile
|
|
20
|
+
- self-consistent loop with T = 0 subband filling using numeric in-plane
|
|
21
|
+
edge masses, converging to charge neutrality
|
|
22
|
+
- cited GaN and AlN parameter sets with closed-form verification
|
|
23
|
+
(new in v0.2, see below)
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
Not yet implemented, stated plainly because they matter physically:
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
- **finite barriers.** Hard walls one grid spacing outside the grid ends.
|
|
28
|
+
A hard wall forces the envelope to vanish at the interface and pushes
|
|
29
|
+
the gas outward, which shifts subband energies and masses; a finite AlN
|
|
30
|
+
barrier treated as position-dependent material parameters is the v0.3
|
|
31
|
+
gate before research-grade use.
|
|
32
|
+
- strain terms, full k-grid (non-parabolic) filling, spin splitting
|
|
33
|
+
analysis, transport lifetimes.

H(k) = H0(kx, ky) + H1(kx, ky) * kz + H2 * kz^2

The envelope operator is obtained by kz -> -i d/dz with the symmetrized
|
|
9
|
+
(Ben Daniel-Duke) discretization for the kz^2 terms and the symmetrized
|
|
10
|
+
first-difference for terms linear in kz, which keeps the discrete matrix
|
|
11
|
+
exactly Hermitian, including for position-dependent parameters.
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
Off-diagonal phase conventions differ between papers; eigenvalues are
|
|
14
|
+
invariant under those phase choices.

Energies in eV, lengths in nm. Valence-electron energy convention: holes

|

A six-band **k.p envelope-function solver** for wurtzite heterostructures,
|
|
30
|
+
solved **self-consistently with Poisson's equation** on a 1D grid. Built
|
|
31
|
+
for polarization-induced two-dimensional hole gases (GaN/AlN and related
|
|
32
|
+
systems), where the confining potential is not imposed but emerges from
|
|
33
|
+
the balance between the fixed polarization charge and the gas itself.
|

|
+
|
|
35
|

## Status
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
v0.2.0 (alpha). Implemented and tested:
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
- six-band wurtzite valence Hamiltonian (standard Chuang-Chang form),
|
|
40
|
+
discretized with symmetrized operator ordering so the matrix is exactly
|
|
41
|
+
Hermitian for position-dependent parameters
|
|
42
|
+
- envelope eigen-solution at arbitrary in-plane k
|
|
43
|
+
- Gauss-law hole potential from the density profile
|
|
44
|
+
- self-consistent loop with T = 0 subband filling using numeric in-plane
|
|
45
|
+
edge masses, converging to charge neutrality
|
|
46
|
+
- cited GaN and AlN parameter sets with closed-form verification
|
|
47
|
+
(new in v0.2, see below)
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
Not yet implemented, stated plainly because they matter physically:
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
- **finite barriers.** Hard walls one grid spacing outside the grid ends.
|
|
52
|
+
A hard wall forces the envelope to vanish at the interface and pushes
|
|
53
|
+
the gas outward, which shifts subband energies and masses; a finite AlN
|
|
54
|
+
barrier treated as position-dependent material parameters is the v0.3
|
|
55
|
+
gate before research-grade use.
|
|
56
|
+
- strain terms, full k-grid (non-parabolic) filling, spin splitting
|
|
57
|
+
analysis, transport lifetimes.
|
|
58

## Cited parameter sets (new in v0.2)
|
|
60
|
+
|

61
|

- `gan_rinke2008()`: the consistent GW-based GaN valence set of Rinke et
|
|
62
|
+
al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 075202 (2008) (A1..A6, Delta_CR = 10 meV,
|
|
63
|
+
Delta_SO = 17 meV, delta2 = delta3 = Delta_SO/3), as tabulated in
|
|
64
|
+
Extended Data Table 1 of Chang et al., Nature Electronics 9, 346 (2026)
|
|
65
|
+
and used in the source paper below. eps_r = 10.4 (E parallel to c) from
|
|
66
|
+
Barker and Ilegems, Phys. Rev. B 7, 743 (1973).
|
|
67
|
+
- `aln_rinke2008()`: the matching AlN set (Delta_CR = -295 meV from Rinke
|
|
68
|
+
et al.; Delta_SO = 22 meV from de Carvalho et al., Appl. Phys. Lett.
|
|
69
|
+
97, 232101 (2010)), intended as a barrier material. Its permittivity is
|
|
70
|
+
deliberately NaN, and the self-consistent solver refuses to run on it,
|
|
71
|
+
because no vetted value is shipped and none is needed for a barrier.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
The test-suite locks every number and checks the GaN set against closed
|
|
74
|
+
forms: the zone-center splittings come out at 5.20 and 21.80 meV (against
|
|
75
|
+
accepted experimental values near 5-6 and 22 meV), and the asymptotic
|
|
76
|
+
in-plane masses at m0/|A2+A4-A5| = 1.89 m0 and m0/|A2+A4+A5| = 0.18 m0,
|
|
77
|
+
the quasi-cubic values quoted in the source paper's Supplemental
|
|
78
|
+
Material.
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
For any other material or parameterization, populate
|
|
81
|
+
`WurtziteParameters` from the literature (e.g. Vurgaftman and Meyer,
|
|
82
|
+
J. Appl. Phys. 94, 3675 (2003)) and record the source in the mandatory
|
|
83
|
+
`reference` field. The shipped `demo_single_band()` set is a decoupled,
|
|
84
|
+
non-physical configuration used by the test-suite, chosen because it has
|
|
85
|
+
closed-form well solutions to test against.

## Verification
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
The test-suite checks Hermiticity with every coupling switched on, the
|
|
109
|
+
decoupled square-well limit against the analytic spectrum, the uniform
|
|
110
|
+
slab against the analytic Gauss-law potential, convergence plus exact
|
|
111
|
+
charge neutrality of the self-consistent loop, and (new in v0.2) the
|
|
112
|
+
cited GaN set against the closed-form quasi-cubic splittings and masses
|
|
113
|
+
above.
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
One comparison against the source paper is on record and stated honestly:
|
|
116
|
+
a hard-wall self-consistent run at the measured sheet density
|
|
117
|
+
(4.6e13 cm^-2, 97 points over 6 nm) puts the gas centroid at 0.62 nm
|
|
118
|
+
against 0.568 nm for the hard-wall row of the paper's Table S1, with the
|
|
119
|
+
same subband structure (two heavy branches filled, the light branch a
|
|
120
|
+
minority). The difference comes from the filling model: this package
|
|
121
|
+
fills parabolic edge-mass subbands, while the paper fills the computed
|
|
122
|
+
non-parabolic dispersions, and the light branch is strongly
|
|
123
|
+
non-parabolic. Together with the hard-wall boundary this is why the same
|
|
124
|
+
warning stands: do not use these numbers in publications before the
|
|
125
|
+
finite-barrier, dispersion-filled v0.3.
