Sukit Limpijumnong, Sergey Rahkeev and Walter R. L. Lambrecht MRS Internet J. Nitride Semicond. The electronic band structure, structural and bonding, and some linear and nonlinear optical properties are calculated for a new ternary nitride compound ZnGeN 2 using first-principles methods.
Good agreement is obtained with crystallographic data and with absorption data on the band gap.
The prospects for use as nonlinear optical material are discussed. An Acrobat Reader can be obtained from Adobe's website for free. Back to publications page.
