We have used the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange and correlation potential. In addition the Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation (EVGGA) was used for the band-structure calculations. The structural properties of the binary and ternary alloys were investigated. The electronic band structure, total and partial density of states as well as the electron charge density were determined for both the binary and their related ternary alloys. The energy gap of the alloys decreases when we move from x=0.0 to 0.25; then it increases by a factor of about 1.8 when we move from 0.25 to 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 using EVGGA. For both LDA and GGA moving from x=0.0 to 0.25 causes the band gap to close, showing the metallic nature of the GaN 0.25As 0.75 alloy. When the composition of N moves through x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1, the band gap increases. 2013-04-01T02:46:25Z 2013-04-01T02:46:25Z 2012-03 Article Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing, vol. 106 (3), 2012, pages 687-696 0947-8396 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00339-011-6666-8 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/24190 en Springer-Verlag.
