A bandmixing treatment for multiband-coupled systems via nonlinear-eigenvalue scenario

2019 
We present a numeric-computational procedure to deal with the intricate bandmixing phenomenology in the framework of the quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP), which is derived from a physical system described by N-coupled components Sturm-Liouville matrix boundary-equation. The modeling retrieves the generalized Schur decomposition and the root-locus-like techniques to describe the dynamics of heavy holes (hh), light holes (lh) and spin-split holes (sh) in layered semiconductor heterostructures. By exercising the extended (N = 6) Kohn L\"uttinger model, our approach successfully overcomes the medium-intensity regime for quasi-particle coupling of previous theoretical studies. As a bonus, the sufficient conditions for a generalized QEP have been refined. The sh-related off -diagonal elements in the QEP mass-matrix, becomes a competitor of the bandmixing parameter, leading the hh-sh and lh-sh spectral distribution to change, then they can not be disregarded or zeroed, as was assumed in previous theoretical studies. Thereby, we unambiguously predict that several of the new features detected for hh-lh-sh spectral properties and propagating modes, become directly influenced by the metamorphosis of the effective band-offset scattering profile due sub-bandmixing effects strongly modulated with the assistance of sh, even at low-intensity mixing regime.
