SUMMARY

The approximate Kane Energy (Ep) of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) for calculating oscillator strength is established at 22.71 eV, as referenced in the book "Optoelectronics" by Rosencher and Vinter. This value is critical for researchers focusing on the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures. The discussion highlights the importance of reliable literature in obtaining accurate physical constants for semiconductor materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of semiconductor physics
  • Familiarity with optical properties of materials
  • Knowledge of Kane model for semiconductors
  • Access to "Optoelectronics" by Rosencher and Vinter
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Kane model for semiconductors in detail
  • Explore the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures
  • Study the methods for calculating oscillator strength in semiconductors
  • Review additional literature on semiconductor energy levels and transitions
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and engineers involved in semiconductor technology, particularly those studying the optical properties and energy characteristics of materials like GaAs.

I do not know that value myself, but the book Optoelectronics by Rosencher and Vinter gives a value of 22,71 eV for the Kane energy of GaAs.

Thank you very much, Cthugha. I download this book and find the table with Kane energies. I guess it is very useful book, for investigators of optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures.
