Abstract
A procedure for the self-consistent calculation of the electronic structure of effective-mass quantum wells is described. The procedure uses a parametrized electrostatic potential, and also takes into account the exchange-correlation effects within the local-density approximation. Numerical calculations, performed for InP/As wells at differing temperatures and donor doping levels, indicate that the self-consistent procedure is indeed necessary if reasonably accurate calculations of the charge density, potential, etc., are required.
