Abstract
The electronic structure of semiconductor superlattices is analyzed in terms of complex bulk band structures. The details of the complex bands and the matching conditions at the interfaces are found to be crucial in energy ranges of experimental interest. The limits of applicability of the Kronig-Penney and two-band models are shown.Keywords
