1303.6538 (Josep Planelles et al.)

Magnetic field implementation in multiband k.p Hamiltonians of holes in
semiconductor heterostructures
   [PDF]

Josep Planelles, Juan I. Climente
We propose an implementation of external homogeneous magnetic fields in k$\cdot$p Hamiltonians for holes in heterostructures, in which we made use of the minimal coupling prior to introduce the envelope function approximation. Illustrative calculations for holes in InGaAs quantum dot molecules show that the proposed Hamiltonian outperforms standard Luttinger model [Physical Review 102, 1030 (1956)] describing the experimentally observed magnetic response. The present implementation culminates our previous proposal [Phys. Rev. B 82, 155307 (2010)].
