Abstract By using an ab initio calculation, it is found that the variation of the fundamental band gap of (α-GaN)n / (α-AlN))n (0001) superlattices is remarkably different from that of (β-GaN))n / (β- A1N))n (001) superlattices. The difference in band gap behaviors was shown to be due to the internal electric fields induced by the spontaneous polarizations in α-GaN and α-AlN. In addition, the valence-band offsets at the interfaces of these superlattices are also determined. The results are in good agreement with those available from experimental data.
