X ray data on the volume-pressure dependence V(P) for elementary cells of crystalline GaN are approximated using equations of continuum mechanics. The best approximation of function V(P) is obtained by assuming that a previously unknown continuous phase transition occurs at a pressure of 22 GPa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
