  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

A computational scheme based on the density functional theory modified for structures with translation symmetry is used to investigate the electron energy spectrum of hexagonal gallium nitride and its Y x Ga1–x N (Y ≡ B, Al, In) solid solutions. Dependences of the position of the chemical potential, band heads, widths of valence bands, and energies corresponding to state density maxima on the substituting atom concentration are discussed.
