CONT

It has been assumed that the Si delta-layers are characterized by the Si bulk band-structure in the theoretical modelling. Si is an indirect band-gap semiconductor, while GaAs is of direct type. This means that a Si electron experiences the Si delta-layer as a quantum well, while the Si delta-layer instead constitutes a barrier for a GaAs electron.
