Calculated natural band offsets of all II–VI and III–V semiconductors: Chemical trends and the role of cation d orbitals

Wei, Su-Huai, Zunger, Alex·1998·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

Using first-principles all-electron band structure method, we have systematically calculated the natural band offsets ΔEv between all II–VI and separately between III–V semiconductor compounds. Fundamental regularities are uncovered: for common-cation systems ΔEv decreases when the cation atomic number increases, while for common-anion systems ΔEv decreases when the anion atomic number increases. We find that coupling between anion p and cation d states plays a decisive role in determining the absolute position of the valence band maximum and thus the observed chemical trends.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
