摘要
The Stillinger-Weber potential is modified to study properties of GaN. A gaussian term was added to the Stillinger-Weber potential to be able to include the third nearest neighbours interactions. The results reproduce all the equilibrium lattice constants and the bulk modulus for the wurtzite and zincblende structures. Using the modified Stillinger-Weber potential, we investigate the atomic structure of the {11(2) over bar 0} planar defects, and its stability. It is found that the Drum model is energetically more favorable than the Amelinckx model.
