Abstract
In order to clarify the electronic and optical properties of wide-energy ga p zinc-blende structures ZnSe, MgSe and their alloys (ZnSe)(1-x)(MgSe)(x), a simple pseudo-potential scheme (EPM) within an effective potential, the v irtual crystal approximation (VCA) which incorporates compositional disorde r as an effective potential, is presented. Various quantities, including th e fundamental band gap, the energies of several optical gaps, charge densit ies, ionicity character, transverse effective charge, and refractive index are obtained for this alloy.
