Compression-induced phase transition of GaN bulk from wurtzite phase to five-fold coordination hexagonal phase

The phase transformation of GaN bulk from the Wurtzite phase (WZ) to the hexagonal phase (HX) is studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The mechanical response and atomic structural evolution of transition are analyzed in detail. In addition, the loading rate effect on the phase transition is det...
