Abstract

This paper reports on a tight-binding calculation of the band structures of the Si-GaP superlattice (SL) systems with emphasis on the results of the band gap properties. This calculation finds that the SLs grown onto the [110] or [111] oriented substrate do not produce direct gap materials. On the other hand, some of the [001] oriented SLs become direct gap materials when either an interface (IF) state is created at the P and Si IF, or a confined state in the Si occurs with only Ga and Si atoms forming all the IF.
