摘要
The band gap evolution of dilute bismuth and nitride GaN (x) Bi (y) As1-x-y alloy is analyzed. It is found that the location of the D" conduction band minimum (CBM) of GaN (x) Bi (y) As1-x-y is determined by two factors. One is the influence of the Bi content on the D" CBM of GaAs. The other is the interaction and the hybridization between the N level and the D" CBM of GaBi (y) As1-y . For the D" valence band maximum (VBM) of GaN (x) Bi (y) As1-x-y , the main factor to determine its location is the interaction and the hybridization between the Bi level and the D" VBM of GaAs. According to the physical mechanism for the band gap evolution, a model is established to depict the band gap energy of GaN (x) Bi (y) As1-x-y depending on N and Bi contents quantitatively. The results obtained using the model are consistent with the experimental data.
