We studied the electronic properties of the AlP/GaP and AlN/GaN interfaces and their cubic constituents. The work is developed using approximate quasiparticle approach LDA-1/2 method. First, we provide a detailed calculation of bulk AlN, AlP, GaN, and GaP. In addition to accurate results for fundamental band gap, we also obtained accurate electronic transition levels along valence and conduction bands profiles, compared to experiments and theoretical results using GW and hybrid functionals methods. For the conduction (valence) band offset we obtained 0.27 eV (0.43 eV) for AlP/GaP and 1.47 eV (0.36 eV) for AlN/GaN interfaces, in good agreement with experimental results.
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.
