Abstract
The results of a density functional calculation on gallium nitride are given. We use norm-conserving pseudopotentials with sufficiently exte nded sets of plane waves to investigate the ground-state properties an d the electronic band structure for the zincblende phase of GaN and co mpare them with the corresponding results for the wurtzite structure. A comparison with the outcomes of other calculations and with the exis ting experimental data is also given.
