How is the k.p method used in semiconductor systems?

[SemiSteve]

Hi,

I am trying to find a worked example of the k.p. method for a semiconductor. I understand the theory, but would like to find an example of its implimentation for a simple system just to help with my understanding of it.

Many thanks in advance

check out any text on semiconductors, Yu and Cardona comes to mind, and you'll find many examples of k.p in detail.
