What is Electronic band structures of filled tetrahedral semiconductor LiMgP and zinc-blende AlP about?
The band structures of the filled tetrahedral semiconductor LiMgP and zinc-blende AlP were studied using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW). The conduction band modifications of LiMgP, compared to its 'parent' zinc-blende analog AlP, are discussed. It was found that the conduction band valleys of LiMgP follow the X-G-L ordering of increasing energy for both a (Li C near the anion) and b (Li C near the cation) phases, whereas AlP has the X-L-G ordering, and the differences between the direct (G-G) and indirect (G-X) gaps decrease in the a and b-LiMgP, compared to AlP. The interstitial insertion of closed-shell Li C ion is a possible method to change the direct-indirect gap nature, but the 'interstitial insertion rule' cannot be applied in predicting all conduction band modifications of LiMgP, relative to AlP. The total energy calculations show the a phase to be more stable than the b phase for LiMgP.
