Abstract
The electronic structure of semiconducting diamond is calculated by the scalar-relativistic linear muffin-tin-orbital method within the local-density approximation. Information about matrix elements, effective masses, and Luttinger parameters is extracted by comparison with k⋅p calculations. An extended 16×16 k⋅p calculation is performed using the parameters above as input so as to obtain the detailed band structure of the higher valence and lower conduction band states around the Γ point in the (110) direction.Keywords
