Study on Electronic Structure of GaN under Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

A detailed theoretical study of electronic structure and optical properties of GaN under pressure was performed by the first-principles calculations of plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential method based on the density functional theory (DFT). The results indicate that Ga-N bond length becomes shorter and the valence bonds shift towards the low energy while the conduction bands towards high energy, the band gap becomes wider with the pressure increasing, and theoretical studies explained the relationship between the band edges, energy gap of GaN and pressure. In addition, the peak in band was cracked slightly, and the Ga 3d-N 2p hybridization was enhanced.
