First-principles computations of the electrical characteristics of AlAs have been carried out using the density functional theory-DFT and the Local Density Approximation-LDA,methods (DFT) and Generalized Gradient Approximation-GGA. We utilized the CASTEP's plane wave basis set implementation for the total energy computation (originally from Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package). We used to look at the AlAs structure's structural parameter. The band gap was overestimated by the Generalized Gradient Approximation and  LDA  techniques, although the band gap predicted by the GGA is more in line with the experimental finding, according to the electronic structure calculation utilizing the two approximations. A semiconductor with a straight band-gap of 2.5 eV is revealed by the GGA calculation. The energy band diagram is used to calculate the total and partial densities of AlAs states. Multiple configurations of the ionic model were calculated. of Al+xAs−x (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1) are also performed utilizing free-atom profiles. According to the ionic model, 0.75 electrons would be transferred from the valence 5p state of aluminum to the 3p state of Arsenide.
