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.
