Revised direct bandgap and band parameters for AlP: hybrid-functional first-principles calculations vs experiment by Cónal Murphy, Eoin P. O’Reilly, Christopher A. Broderick

“…Despite its relevance to the development of quantum-confined heterostructures for classical and quantum applications, there is significant uncertainty regarding several key band parameters for the indirect-gap III–V semiconductor AlP. Critically, using hybrid-functional first-principles calculations, we find that the Γ6c–Γ8v bandgap is ∼1 eV larger than the widely assumed value of 3.63 eV. …”
