摘要: An intrinsic property of quaternary alloys ${A}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}{B}_{y}{C}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{D}_{x} (x\ensuremath{\approx}1\char21{}3%)$ with D being an isovalent trap is reported: a set discrete band gaps occurs due to substitution the on sites different nearest-neighbor environments. Exemplary, this phenomenon demonstrated for (Ga,In)(N,As) by experiment and explained tight-binding supercell calculations. The gap nitrogen-poor alloy blueshifted simply moving nitrogen traps from Ga-ligand rich In-ligand sites, without changing composition.
