Impact of alloy disorder on the band structure of compressively strained GaBiAs

The incorporation of bismuth (Bi) in GaAs results in a large reduction of the band gap energy (E_g) accompanied with a large increase in the spin-orbit splitting energy (\bigtriangleup_{SO}), leading to the condition that \bigtriangleup_{SO} > E_g which is anticipated to reduce so-called CHSH Auger recombination losses whereby the energy...
