Abstract :
Mathematical models based on Quantum Dielectric Theory(QDT) and Valence Band Anticrossing (VBAC) interaction have been used to explain the composition dependence of band gap for GaP1-xBix. The theoretically predicted bandgap of GaBi using QDT is used to calculate the band structure for the ternary alloy.
