Dear all, I studied the total energy variation versus volume of the GaN and GaBi cristals, in both Zinc-blenbe au wurtzite structure. my calculation demonstrates that for the GaBi material the Zinc-blende structure is the must stable, while the wurtzite is the fundamental structure for the GaN material which is in great agreement whith the experimental results. Aiming the determination of the phase concentration variation, I also investigated the total energy variation of the GaNBi alloys for different concentration of the Bi element for both noted structures. During on calculation we were waiting for a phase transition from wurtzite to Zinc-blende structures follwing the Bi concentration increase, which is not confirmed by our main calculation fact: We found that in fast step phase transition was from wurtzite to zinc-blende, then retured to wurtzite then to Zinc-blende increasing the concentration of Bi. My input is below: Zinc-blende structutre:
