摘要
The thermal expansion of hexagonal GaN bulk crystals was studied in an extended temperature range from 12 to 1025 K. The lattice parameters a and c were measured by high-resolution x-ray diffraction. The temperature dependence of the derived thermal expansion coefficients along the a and c directions could be well described over the entire temperature range within both the Debye model and the Einstein model. Debye temperatures of (868 +/- 20) K and (898 +/- 24) K and Einstein temperatures of (636 +/- 13) K and (662 +/- 18) K were derived along the a and c axes, respectively, and compared to available literature values.
