摘要
The calculation of the electronic structure of the GaN stacking faults in the framework of the local empirical pseudopotential theory is presented. The stacking faults in both zinc-blende and wurtzite GaN are predicted to introduce electronic levels within the band gap, with the energy (0.13+/-0.01) eV above the valence-band top. These levels are found to originate from interface states of heterocrystalline wurtzite (0001)-zinc-blende (111) interfaces. The possible implications of stacking fault electronic states on the luminescence properties of GaN are discussed.
