Abstrakt: The band structure of Al[sub x]Ga[sub 1-x]N substitutional solid solution is calculated by the method of local model pseudopotential in the modified virtual-crystal approximation. This provides an opportunity to explain both the dependence of the energy gap value (E[sub g]) on AlN concentration (x) and on temperature and the E[sub g](x) bending. The dynamics of chemical bonds in this compounds is studied by analyzing the spatial distribution of valence electron charge. The results of calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
