First-Principles Investigation of Density of States and Electron Density in Wurtzite In0.5Ga0.5 N Alloys with GGA-PBEsol Method
In present work, we have calculated the electronic properties including density of states and electron density for GaN, InN and InxGa1-xN in wurtzite phase for x=0.5. The study is based on density functional theory with full potential linearized augmented plane wave method by generalized gradient approximation for calculating electronic properties. In this report we concluded that InxGa1-xN ba...
متن کاملDesign of High Efficient InN Quantum Dot Based Solar Cell
A fundamental limitation in achieving ultra-high efficiency solar cells (> 50%) is the availability of materials and corresponding device structures. The InGaN material system offer substantial potential in developing ultra-high efficiency devices, both because of measurements indicating that the band gap on InN is lower than previously though and also due to other unique material properties, s...
متن کاملInvestigating the Properties of an Optical Waveguide Based on Photonic Crystal with Point Defect and Lattice Constant Perturbation
In this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. Firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for TE/TM modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. After that, effects of parameters like...
متن کاملBand structure parameters of the nitrides: The origin of the small band gap of InN
Using a band-structure method that includes the correction to the band gap error in the local density approximation (LDA), we study the chemical trends of the band gap variation in III-V semiconductors and predict that the band gap for InN is 0.8 ± 0.1 eV, which is much smaller than previous experimental value of ∼ 1.9 eV. The unusually small band gap for InN is explained in terms of the high e...
متن کاملBand Gap of Hexagonal InN and InGaN Alloys
A survey of most recent studies of optical absorption, photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and photomodulated reflectance spectra of single-crystalline hexagonal InN layers is presented. The samples studied were undoped n-type InN with electron concentrations between 6 1018 and 4 1019 cm– 3. It has been found that hexagonal InN is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a band gap of about...
