Abstract

The effect of boron (B) on the electronic band structure of BxGa1-xAs alloys was investigated. It was found that under hydrostatic pressure, the band gap increases at a rate almost identical to the pressure dependence of the GaAs band gap. It was showed that B incorporation did not cause large modifications of the conduction-band structure in BxGa1-xAs alloys.
