URGENT x 10 DERIVE a 6x6 Hamiltonian for bulk semiconductors

Okay here is a little challenge for you guys. Try and test your skill a little. First 10 people to properly derive a 6x6 Hamiltonian for bulk semiconductors will gain bragging rights in this forum.

would a 6 x 6 be two 3x3s across the diagnol but symmetric?

Start with the 3 p-states, and use the \vec{k} \times \vec{p} Hamiltonian to work out the states...You have to include spin and utilize the spin-orbit corrections to get the correct form of the matrix. Worked the 8 \times 8 version for my dissertation years ago which involved the s-states.
