| Self-consistent linear muffin-tin orbital method is used to calculate the band structure of ZnS/ZnSe (001) strained-layer superlattice and investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the valence band offset (VBO). Three different strain modes corresponding to various values of the relative thicknesses of both materials are considered. A I → II type conversion associated with the conduction-band crossover between the ZnSe well and ZnS barrier layers is found in agreement with recent experimental data. |
