摘要：
First-principles plan-wave pseudopotential method was used to calculate the optimized parameters, electron density of states and energy band properties of Ga2-xAlxO3(x=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) alloys by doping Al into β-Ga2O3. It was found that β-Ga2-xAlxO3 was indirect wide-bandgap material, the bowing parameter was 0.452 eV for direct bandgap and 0.373 eV for indirect bandgap. The bandgap of β-Ga2-xAlxO3 was determined by O2p state of valence band maximum and Ga4s state of conduction band minimum. When the increase in Al concentration of Ga2-xAlxO3, the volumes decreased, the total energies and the bandgap increased, which was consistent with the experimental results.
