First-principles total-energy calculation of gallium nitride.
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a tetrahedrally coordinated III-V compound semiconductor which has the hexagonal wurtzite structure with a wide band gap of 3.5 eV at 300 K. It is reported that a simple-metal-insulator-n-typeGaN diode produces blue electroluminescence. ' For this reason it has been studied as a material suitable for an effective optoelectronic device such as laser and light emitting di...
متن کاملGiant piezoelectric size effects in zinc oxide and gallium nitride nanowires. A first principles investigation.
Nanowires made of materials with noncentrosymmetric crystal structure are under investigation for their piezoelectric properties and suitability as building blocks for next-generation self-powered nanodevices. In this work, we investigate the size dependence of piezoelectric coefficients in nanowires of two such materials - zinc oxide and gallium nitride. Nanowires, oriented along their polar a...
متن کاملGallium Nitride Photoconductive Detectors
Since 1994, the Applied Physics Laboratory has been collaborating with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to develop photodetectors based on gallium nitride and aluminum gallium nitride material produced in the Milton S. Eisenhower Research and Technology Development Center. This article describes the results of our collaboration and highlights the development of gallium nitride photodetectors wi...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Calculation of Transport Coefficients
We demonstrate the practical feasibility of calculating transport coefficients such as the viscosity of liquids completely from first principles using the Green-Kubo relations. Results presented for liquid aluminum are shown to have a statistical error of only ca. 5%. The importance of such calculations is illustrated by results for a liquid iron-sulfur alloy under Earth’s core conditions, whic...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of local atomic polarizabilities.
Common methods of determining atomic polarizabilities suffer from the inclusion of nonlocal effects such as charge polarization. A new method is described for determining fully ab initio atomic polarizabilities based on calculating the response of atomic multipoles to the local electrostatic potential. The localized atomic polarizabilities are then used to calculate induction energies that are ...
