Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of GaAs Doped with Rare-Earth Elements (Sc, Y, La, Ce, and Pr) by Yongrong Deng, Chunhong Zhang, Xinmao Qin, Wanjun Yan

“…Band structure calculations indicated that the lowest conduction band and highest valence band were evident at the G-point, demonstrating that rare-earth-element doping did not alter the material type of GaAs, which remained a direct-bandgap semiconductor. The bandgap of Sc-doped GaAs increased, whereas those of Y-, La-, Ce-, and Pr-doped GaAs decreased. …”
