Abstract
The elastic constants of GaN have been determined using Brillouin scattering; in GPa they are: C11=390, C33=398, C44=105, C66=123, C12=145, and C13=106. Our values differ substantially from those quoted in the literature which were obtained from the determination of mean square displacement of atoms measured by x-ray diffraction.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
