Abstract
We present a model for alloys of compound semiconductors by introducing a o ne-dimensional binary random system where impurities are placed in one subl attice while host atoms lie on the other sublattice. The source of disorder is the stochastic fluctuation of the impurity energy from site to site. Al though the system is one-dimensional and random, we demonstrate analyticall y and numerically the existence of a set of extended states in finite syste ms, whose energy lies close to that of host atoms.
