In this note we investigate some properties of a-derivations on prime and semiprime rings. We establish some identities for a commuting a-derivation d on a semiprime ring R and show that d maps R into its center and obtain some well-known results as a consequence. We also generalize Posner's theorem on the composition of derivations for a-derivations and as an application resolve a functional equation of automorphisms on certain prime rings.
