The photoconductions of ultrafast InGaAs:ErAs nanocomposites at low temperatures were investigated. The parabolic Tauc edge as well as the exponential Urbach tail are identified in the absorption spectrum. The Tauc edge supports that the density of s
tates at the bottom of conduction band is proportional to the square root of energy. The Urbach edge is attributed to interband transition caused by smooth microscopic internal fields. The square root of mean-squared internal fields, whose distribution is Gaussian, is found in the order of $10^{5}$V/cm, agreeing very well with the theoretical predictions by Esser (B. ~ Esser, Phys. stat. sol. (b), vol. 51, 735 (1972)).
