Abstract
We report the results of a study of the electronic properties of the AlAs–GaAs interface using the tight‐binding method. The tight‐binding matrix for the superlattice system is used in the limit in which the thickness of the repeated superlattice slab becomes large. This system is studied in detail with special emphasis placed on the determination of interface states. No interface states with energies within the GaAs forbidden gap are found. The densities of states per layer are calculated and compared with bulk densities of states. They resemble the bulk densities of states except for layers adjacent to the interface.
