โฆ Synopsis
The energy gaps of molecular-beam-epitaxy grown wurtzite-structure In 12x Al x N alloys with x # 0:25 have been measured by absorption and photoluminescence experiments. The results are consistent with the recent discovery of a narrow bandgap of , 0.7 eV for InN. A bowing parameter of 3 eV was determined from the composition dependence of these bandgaps. Combined with previously reported data of InGaN and GaAlN, these results show a universal relationship between the bandgap variations of group-III nitride alloys and their compositions.

## Abstract Using __ab initio__ calculations a comparison between In~__x__~Ga~1โ__x__~N, In~__x__~Al~1โ__x__~N and Ga~__x__~Al~1โ__x__~N is performed to examine the role of indium in nitride alloys. The band gap, __E__~g~, as well as its pressure coefficient, d__E__~g~/d__p__, are studied as functi
