Abstract

The shift with hydrostatic pressure of the absorption edge in AlxGa1-xAs compound semiconductors has been measured. The pressure coefficient of the direct-conduction-band minima dEgΓ/dP was obtained as a function of composition in the range x=0 to 0.5. The pressure coefficient, when plotted againt the compositional parameter x, is found to increase up to x=0.25 and then to decrease nonlinearly.
