Abstract
In this work we propose a correction to the effective mass approach (EMA), to be used in Si quantum dot simulations. With this technique we obtained results comparable to those calculated by the tight-binding method (TB). We used this new approach to obtain the hole spectra in spherical quantum dots by means of a fast algorithm, thus improving the accuracy of the EMA.
