Abstract

We suggest a method for calculating electronic spectra in ordered and disordered semiconductor structures (superlattices) forming double quantum wells. The method represents the solution of the Schrödinger equation for a quantum-well potential via the corresponding diffusion equation, connecting disorder-induced interface mixing with smooth quantum-well profiles and discussing implications for the electron spectrum.
