Abstract

We establish a formalism for determining energy eigenstates of cylindrical lead salt quantum wires in the multiple-band envelope-function approximation. A previous attempt to do so in a recent paper by Rupasov [Phys. Rev. B 80, 115306 (2009)] is shown to be flawed. We find electron energy dispersion for quantum wire subbands within the conduction and valence bands.
