Abstract
In this chapter we shall outline the conceptual methods usually employed to calculate the band structure of semiconductors. We start out from the adia-batic to the one-electron approximations, describe the correlation effects, and then move on to techniques for solving the Schrödinger equation—both from first principles and emperical arguments. The most frequently used k · p method will be described, too.
