Abstract

We present a quantitative two-band theory which describes analytically the composition dependence of the energy gap, interband momentum matrix element and band edge effective masses in GaN x As 1− x alloys for x<∼0.1. The model is confirmed using an sp 3s ∗ tight-binding Hamiltonian, whose results agree well, both with experiment and previous pseudopotential calculations.
