Electronic Full Band Structure

The TNL-FullBand simulator employs the empirical pseudopotential method (EPM), which entails fitting atomic form factors to experimental data. A key characteristic of the Full Energy Band simulator is its capability to analyze the electronic band structures of sp3 and sp2 materials to accurately reflect the most significant band features. Additionally, it allows for the derivation of relevant energy spacings and the nature of both direct and indirect band gaps from the band structures. The thickness and orientation dependent band gap. The simulator can also provide information on electron effective masses and the density of states (DOS) at high symmetry points.
