Direct Band Gap Gallium Antimony Phosphide (GaSbxP(1-x)) Alloys.
Here, we report direct band gap transition for Gallium Phosphide (GaP) when alloyed with just 1-2 at% antimony (Sb) utilizing both density functional theory based computations and experiments. First principles density functional theory calculations of GaSbxP(1-x) alloys in a 216 atom supercell configuration indicate that an indirect to direct band gap transition occurs at x = 0.0092 or higher S...
متن کاملUsing superlattice ordering to reduce the band gap of random (In,Ga)As/InP alloys to a target value via the inverse band structure approach
Thermophotovoltaic TPV devices are intended to absorb photons from hot blackbody radiating objects, often requiring semiconductor absorbers with band gap of 0.6 eV. The random InxGa1−xAs alloy lattice matched xIn=0.53 to a 001 InP substrate has a low-temperature band gap of 0.8 eV, about 0.2 eV too high for a TPV absorber. Bringing the band gap down by raising the In concentration induces strai...
متن کاملReduced Hamiltonian for Electronic States of Dilute Nitride Semiconductors
We present a novel model to describe conduction band of GaNxAs1−x (GaNAs). As well known, GaNAs shows exotic behavior such as large band gap bowing. Although there are various models to describe the conduction band of GaNAs, origin of the band gap bowing is still under debate. On the basis of perturbation theory, we show that the behavior of conduction band is mainly arising from intervalley mi...
متن کاملDilute-As AlNAs Alloy for Deep-Ultraviolet Emitter
The band structures of dilute-As AlNAs alloys with As composition ranging from 0% up to 12.5% are studied by using First-Principle Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation. The energy band gap shows remarkable reduction from 6.19 eV to 3.87 eV with small amount of As content in the AlNAs alloy, which covers the deep ultraviolet (UV) spectral regime. A giant bowing parameter of 30.5 eV ± 0.5 ...
متن کاملFinal Thesis
Spin filtering properties of novel GaNAs alloys are reported in this thesis. Spindependent recombination (SDR) in GaNAs via a deep paramagnetic defect center is intensively studied. By using the optical orientation photoluminescence (PL) technique, GaNAs is shown to be able to spin filter electrons injected from GaAs, which is a useful functional property for integratition with future electroni...
