AlxGa1xAs band-edge dependence on alloy composition

Abstract
The Alx Ga1xAs system is studied in the semiempirical nearest-neighbor five-orbital model of Vogl et al., by means of the Chang-Schulman transfer-matrix method of calculation. The effect of different types of compositional short- and long-range ordering on the Γ and X band-gap composition dependence is examined and compared to experimental data.
