| contents | We analyze and present applications of a recently proposed empirical tight-binding scheme for investigating the effects of alloy disorder on various electronic and optical properties of semiconductor alloys, such as the band gap variation, the localization of charge carriers, and the optical transitions. The results for a typical antimony-containing III-V alloy, GaAsSb, show that the new scheme greatly improves the accuracy in reproducing the experimental alloy band gaps compared to other widely used schemes. The atomistic nature of the empirical tight-binding approach paired with a reliable parameterization enables more detailed physical insights into the effects of disorder in alloyed materials. |
