A New Phase of GaN

The structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of the orthorhombic GaN (Pnma-GaN) are investigated at ambient pressure by using first-principles calculations method with the ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme. The elastic constants and phonon calculations reveal Pnma-GaN is mechanically and dyn...
