Abstract: | A simple sp3 hybrid-orbital model for predicting valence-band discontinuities is proposed and applied to quaternaries. The effects of anion and cation disorder are taken into account explicitly within the coherent-potential approximation. Results for In1?xGaxP1?yAsy, In1?xGaxAs1?ySby, Ga1?xAlxAs1?ySby and In1?xAlxP1?ySby lattice-matched to some binaries are shown. The broadening of valence-band-top levels due to alloy scattering is found negligible. |
