Lattice-constant and band-gap tuning in wurtzite and zincblende BInGaN alloys
@article{Greenman2019LatticeconstantAB, title={Lattice-constant and band-gap tuning in wurtzite and zincblende BInGaN alloys}, author={Kevin P. Greenman and Logan Williams and Emmanouil Kioupakis}, journal={Journal of Applied Physics}, year={2019} }
InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are more efficient and cost effective than incandescent and fluorescent lighting, but lattice mismatch limits the thickness of InGaN layers that can be grown on GaN without performance-degrading dislocations. In this work, we apply hybrid density functional theory calculations to investigate the thermodynamic stability, lattice parameters, and band gaps of wurtzite and zincblende quaternary BInGaN alloys. We find that the wurtzite phase is more stable and can…
