摘要
Band structures and deep levels are calculated for both the cubic and hexagonal nitride semiconductors, using the sp(3)s* tight-binding formulation and the Green's function technique. An anti-bonding s-like state produced by nitrogen vacancy is predicted to appear at 0.3 eV below the conduction-band (CB) edge for GaN, which gets shallower and then resonant with the CB for InxGa1-xN with In content (x), The theoretical results can provide a new and consistent model for explaining anomalous optical properties in nitride semiconductors.
