摘要: Abstract As advanced semiconductor materials, GaN, AlN, and GaAlN alloys are widely used in optoelectronic devices. In order to research the properties of Ga1−xAlxN with different Al component, models Ga0.875Al0.125N, Ga0.750Al0.250N, Ga0.625Al0.375N, Ga0.500Al0.500N, AlN were built, then atomic structure, band density states, Mulliken charge distribution, optical six crystals calculated based on first principle calculations. Results show that lattice parameters decrease while gap increases increase component. The all semiconductors direct gap. global transfer index When component is bigger bigger, absorption peak shifts higher energy, threshold wavelength decreases.
