We used the local density approximation (LDA) [4] within the generalized gradient correction (GGA) [5] to calculate the electronic structure at equilibrium volume. The effect of composition on lattice constants, bulk modulus and band gap were investigated. Deviations of the lattice constants from Vegard’s law and the bulk modulus were observed for this alloy. The microscopic origins of the gap bowing were explained by using the approach of Zunger and co-workers [6-9].展开更多

The calculated equilibrium lattice constants and bulk modulus are compared with previous results. The concentration dependence of the electronic band structure and the direct and indirect band gaps are investigated. Using the approach of Zunger and co-workers, the microscopic origins of the band gap bowing are investigated also. A reason is found from the comparison of our results with other theoretical calculations.展开更多

The full-potential muffin-tin orbitals (FP-LMTO) method was employed within density functional theory (DFT) based on local density Approximation (LDA), and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We analyze composition effect on lattice constants, bulk modulus, band gap and effective mass of the electron. Using the approach of Zunger and coworkers, the microscopic origins of band gap bowing have been detailed and explained. Discussions will be given in comparison with results obtained with other available theoretical and experimental results.展开更多
