摘要
We have studied the effects of quantitative disorder on the valence band in the electronic density of states (DOS) of tetrahedrally-bonded amorphous semiconductors on the basis of a simple Weaire-Thorpe model. The coherent potential approximation is applied to the random variation of the transfer integrals V1 and V2 of the model. Our numerical results indicate that it is not always necessary to assume the existence of five-membered rings in order to explain the characteristic features of the DOS. © 1979.
