Effects of impurities on the lattice parameters of GaN
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects on the lattice parameters due to incorporation of impurities in GaN are evaluated using firstprinciples pseudopotential-density-functional calculations. Both the size effect, due to the relaxation of host atoms around the impurity, and the deformation-potential effect, due to placing free carriers in the conduction or valence band, are investigated. The incorporation of silicon and beryllium causes contraction of the lattice, while oxygen and magnesium cause expansion. Consequences for experimental observations are discussed; in particular, the presence of impurities in bulk crystals that are used as standards for the lattice parameters of GaN can have a sizable effect on the measured values.

متن کاملThe study of electronic conductance of a nanoribbon with square lattice including some impurities
In this paper, we study the electronic conductance of a nanoribbon with square lattice by using Green’s function theory within the tight-binding approach. For this purpose, we separate the conductance modes in the ideal parts by using a suitable unitary transformation in order to obtain the analytic formula for the corresponding self-energies. Then, we present a fast computer algorithm based on...
