Abstract

The gallium based semiconductor compounds are very useful materials for optical spectroscopy and optoelectronic applications, we have studied the effect of pressure on various physical properties like total energy, static bulk modulus, energy band gap at the point X on the Jones-zone face, pressure derivative of bulk modulus and equation of state of gallium based binary compounds GaSb, GaAs, GaP and GaN using pseudopotential theory beyond second order with our well established single parametric model potential. We have incorporated Nagy's static local field correction function to include exchange and correlation effects. The results are compared with those obtained using few other local field correction functions. The present results agree satisfactorily with available experimental and other such theoretical data confirming the application.
