摘要

The composition dependence of the natural band alignment at nonpolar Al_xGa_(1-x)N/Al_yGa_(1-y)N heterojunctions is investigated via hybrid functional based density functional theory. Accurate band-gap data are provided using Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) type hybrid functionals with a composition dependent exact-exchange contribution. The unstrained band alignment between zincblende (zb) Al_xGa_(1-x)N semiconductor alloys is studied within the entire ternary composition range utilizing the Branch-point technique to align the energy levels related to the bulklike direct Γ_v →Γ_c and indirect, pseudodirect, respectively, Γ_v → X_c type transitions in zb-Al_xGa_(1-x)N. While the zb-GaN/Al_xGa_(1-x)N band edges consistently show a type-I alignment, the relative position of fundamental band edges changes to a type-II alignment in the Al-rich composition ranges of zb-Al_xGa_(1-x)N/AlN and zb-Al_xGa_(1-x)N/Al_yGa_(1-y)N systems. The presence of a direct-indirect band-gap transition at x_c = 0.63 in zb-Al_xGa_(1-x)N semiconductor alloys gives rise to a notably different composition dependence of band discontinuities in the direct and indirect energy-gap ranges. Below the critical direct-indirect Al/Gacrossover concentration, the band offsets show a close to linear dependence on the alloy composition. In contrast, notable bowing characteristics of all band discontinuities are observed above the critical crossover composition.
