Abstract
An analytical theory of intervalley mixing at semiconductor heterojunctions is presented. Burt's envelope-function representation is used to analyze a pseudopotential Hamiltonian, yielding a simple δ-function mixing between Γ and X electrons and light and heavy holes. This coupling exists even for media differing only by a constant band offset (i.e., with no difference in Bloch functions).
