Abstract :
In this work we calculate the electron band structure of a silicon periodic nanostructure embedded into SiO2 and describe the computational implementation we used for this purpose. Further, we discuss the influence of nonparabolicity of electron silicon band structure in the dispersion relation of the periodic nanostructure.
