AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on intrinsic interface states at InAs-AlSb interfaces, particularly related to In-Sb chemical bonds.
  • Researchers used an advanced tight-binding model to effectively constrain the parameters necessary for studying these materials.
  • The findings indicate the presence of a heavy-hole-like interface state that is stable over a wide range of band offset values between InSb and InAs.

Article Abstract

We examine the formation of intrinsic interface states bound to the plane of In-Sb chemical bonds at InAs-AlSb interfaces. Careful parameterization of the bulk materials in the frame of the extended-basis spds (*)tight-binding model and recent progress in predictions of band offsets severely limit the span of tight-binding parameters describing this system. We find that a heavy-hole-like interface state bound to the plane of In-Sb bonds exists for a large range of values of the InSb-InAs band offset.
