Abstract A simple tight-binding method for ternary semiconductor alloys is generalized to calculate the properties of the semiconductor alloys accurately. Specifically independently adjustable parameters, which represent compositional disorder, are incorporated in all the ternary tight-binding parameters. Energy levels and effective masses agree well with the reference values only by the proposed method. We have applied the method to calculate the band gaps and a spectrum of the absorption coefficient of (InAs)/(GaInSb) type-II superlattices. The calculated band-gaps agree well with the experimental ones and we could well reproduce the shape of the absorption coefficient spectrum calculated by an empirical pseudopotential scheme.

In this article, we have reproduced the tight-binding π band dispersion of graphene including up to third nearest-neighbors and also calculated the density of states of π band within the same model. The aim was to find out a set of parameters descending in order as distance towards third nearest-neighbor increases compared to that of first and second nearest-neighbors with respect to an atom at the origin. Here we have discussed two such sets of parameters by comparing the results with first principle band structure calculation.1

A theory of Tamm-like hole states at type II heterointerface has been developed for zink-blende semiconductors. The consideration has been carried out in the microscopic tight-binding model with allowance made for the spin-orbit splitting of the valence band. It has been demonstrated that the tight-binding method describes Tamm-like hole states at type II semiconductor interface. Localization energy dependence on interface tight-binding parameters has been analyzed.
