摘要
采用半经验紧束缚近似方法对生长在GaSbxP1-x(001)衬底上GaP的电子能带结构进行计算。GaP为间接能隙型的半导体,计算表明,当衬底中Sb组分x≥0.57时,应变的GaP薄层由间接能隙变成直接能隙的半导体。因应变,GaP原来简并的最低X点导带能级及价带顶(Γ点)能级发生分裂。随着X增大,分裂值变大。文中最后计算了价带能级到导带底跃迁的振子强度,对发光效率作了讨论。
T he energy band structures of a thin strained GaP layer Oil GaSh.P1-x (001) substrate are calculated by the semi-empirical tight-binding method in the paper. The calculated results show that the thin strained GaP layer can change its feature from an indirect gap into direct gap if the composition x is larger than 0. 57. Due to deformation, the degeneration of the lowest conduction band at X point and the top of valence band(at P point)is destroyed. The splitting values increase with the composition x. Finally, oscillator strength between the valence band and the bottom of conduction band is calculated. The light emission efficiency is also discussed.
