| Description/Abstract | We have investigated the statistical effects of spontaneous ordering on the electronic and structural properties of a semiconductor alloy as a function of order parameter using an empirical pseudopotential method in conjunction with a valence force field method in a supercell approach. The theoretical modeling yields valuable information on the statistical fluctuation of electronic properties, which includes the individual band edge as well as the band gap, for understanding the effects of ordering on various optical and transport measurements. The results on the average bond lengths and the statistical distributions of different types of bonds provide a guideline for the measurability of the effects of ordering in a partially ordered alloy in terms of the order parameter. |
