A pseudopotentiel formalism coupled with the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) is applied to study influence of composition on AxB1−xC ternary band gap in zinc blende phase. Our theoretical results show that gaps are affected by compositional disorder. We further predict bowing parameter II–VI, III–V and IV–IV alloys (i) has a close connection difference between lattice constants Δa; (ii) does not vary linearly electronegativities ΔXAB as case AIBIIC2VI chalcopyrite-structure (iii) scale...

The role of intermolecular coupling and coherent electron-nuclear in the photophysics conjugated compound $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-quaterthiophene ($\ensuremath{\alpha}$-4T) has been investigated. For this purpose, we have measured photoluminescence (PL) spectra from $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-4T as a thin film (80 nm) single crystal. Singlet triplet excitons were brought into play using different excitation energies. By means Franck-Condon (FC) analysis, show that for film, PL is due to intrachain...
