Popis: A study of how well tight-binding models can reproduce the optoelectronic properties of GaAs/ AlAs superlattices is carried out. It is shown that two key parameter sets lead to observable differences in the pseudo-direct energy gap regime, as well as in the direct gap regime. In addition to the differences in bulk fitting, other less direct differences, such as wave function localization, are found to play a role.
