Electronic and optical properties such as the density of states, dielectric function, absorption, reflectivity, loss function and refractive index of surface In x Ga 1−x P(0 0 1) are investigated first time with first principle methods based on plane-wave pseudo-potentials method within the LDA approximation in this paper, and the results show that the physical properties are much different from bulk materials. The physical properties of surface In 0.25 Ga 0.75 P is observed to be very different from In 0.5 Ga 0.5 P and In 0.75 Ga 0.25 P and the causes are analyzed in this paper. An indium-gradient surface In x Ga 1−x P structure has been calculated first time as well, and small differences in electronic and optical properties are found from In 0.5 Ga 0.5 P and indium-gradient structures except for x = (0.75, 0.25, 0.5), by which a new way is found to improve the physical properties with a given indium composition.
