Abstract

We calculate the electronic structure of cubic GaxAl1–xN alloys. We used an empirical tight-binding Hamiltonian with an sp3s* orbital basis up to second-neighbour interactions including the spin–orbit splitting. We report the evolution of the band gap alloy for the whole range of x concentration.
