摘要

The band gap evolutions of GaSbxAs1-x and InSbxAs1-x in the whole composition range are investigated. It is found that the band gap evolutions of GaSbxAs1-x and InSbxAs1-x. are determined by two factors. One is the impurity-host interaction in the As-rich and Sb-rich composition ranges. The other is the intraband coupling within the conduction band and separately within the valence band in the moderate composition range. Based on the band gap evolutions of GaSbxAs1-x and InSbxAs1-x, a model is established. In addition, it is found that the impurity-host interaction is determined by not only the mismatches in size and electronegativity between the introduced atoms in the host material and the anions of the host material, but also the difference in electronegativity between the introduced atoms in the host material and the cations of the host material.
