We present in this work a correction to the Effective Mass Approach based on atomistic calculations for studies on hole confinement in silicon quantum dots. The idea is to connect two different frameworks such as Tight-Binding and k.p in order to take advantage of the computational efficiency of the latter. Further, this work would enable to gain an insight into the causes of difference between both...
In this work we propose a correction to the effective mass approach (EMA), to be used in Si quantum dot simulations. With this technique we obtained results comparable to those calculated by the tight-binding method (TB). We used this new approach to obtain the hole spectra in spherical quantum dots by means of a fast algorithm, thus improving the accuracy of the EMA.
