A predictive model for band-gap narrowing has been applied to several III-V semiconductors. Band-gap narrowing is expressed as ΔEg =AN1/3+BN1/4+CN1/2 ; values for A, B, and C are predicted for these materials. The commonly used N1/3 relation is shown to be valid for the p-type materials considered, but not for n-type materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
