Popis: We report here the electronic band structures of symmetric type I GaAs ( $$d_{1}= 2.83$$ nm)/AlAs ( $$d_{2}= 2.83$$ nm) superlattice as a function of the well thickness $$d_{1}$$ and the effect of the valence band offset $$\Lambda $$ , the ratio $$d_{2}$$ / $$d_{1}$$ , and the temperature on the band gap energy, performed in the envelop function formalism. These results are compared and discussed with the experimental measurements reported in the literature.
