Band-gap bowing in SixGe1−x alloy

Abstract The alloy SiGe exhibits smallest observed optical bowing. A theoretical analysis of this effect by use of self-consistent ab initio pseudopotential technique for ordered 50–50% alloy in the zinc-blende structure predicted correct optical bowing and revealed that both chemical and structural effects are important for this compound.
