Abstract
Using the pseudopotential method in the coherent potential approximation we calculate the energy structure of the solid solutions Al1−xGaxAs and Al1−xGaxSb. We analyze the effect of chemical disorder on the interband transitions and the electron mobility. We show that it is important to take into account the effects of nondiagonal disorder.
