Abstract :
A new approach for the band structure computation of asymmetric multiple quantum well structures (AMQW) is proposed. The main idea consists in the use of new basis functions which are more exact approximation for the desired solution in comparison to those offered in other works to solve the Burt-Foreman Hamiltonian. The method provides higher accuracy with lower computational burden
