Abstract

A self-consistent tight-binding approach applied to semiconductor nanostructure is presented. This allows us to describe electronic and optical properties of nanostructured devices beyond the usual envelope function approximation. Example of applications are given for High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and non-linear optical devices.
