摘要: First-principles total energy calculations, combined with a generalized quasichemical approach to disorder and compositional effects, are used obtain the lattice parameter band gap of cubic AlxGayIn1−x−yN quaternary alloys. It is found that a(x,y) fulfills Vegard’s-like law; is, it shows linear dependence on alloy contents x y. The range compositions for which lattice-matched GaN obtained. Eg(x,y) deviates from planar behavior displaying two-dimensional bowing in x–y plane. Analytical expressions fit calculated surfaces derived order provide ready access entire compositions. results compared data wurtzite phase
