Ab initio calculations of electronic structure for strained superlattices (SLS) (GaP)1(GaAs)1(001) and (InP)n(InAs)n(001)(n=1,3) are carried out, the valence-band maximum Ev and the average bond energy Em in each molecular layer of SLS's are investigated with the frozen shape approach. The average-bond-energy method for determining valence-band offsets at SLS's are suggestted and tested comprehensively. Based on this method, the valence-band offsets at five SLS's under three strain conditions are determined, their strain-induced effects are discussed. The results of present work show good consistency with available experimental data.
