Description

We review the influence of hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial stress on the electronic structure of bulk semiconductors, bound excitons and semiconductor heterostructures. We illustrate the potentialities of such perturbations to give symmetries of quantum states as well as band offsets in heterostructures. (orig.)
