1.1Crystal Structure of Nitrides

1.1Crystal Structure of Nitrides Group III nitrides can be of crystalline structures: the wurtzite (Wz), zinc blende (ZB), and rock salt. Under ambient conditions, the thermodynamically stable structure is wurtzite for bulk AlN, GaN, and InN. The zinc blende structure for GaN and InN has been stabilized by epitaxial growth of thin films [...]
