High-pressure bct to fcc structural transformation in Ga

Authors:

Abstract
The equation of state, electronic structure, and phonon dispersions for bct Ga(III) and fcc Ga(IV) phases under high pressure have been studied by first-principle pseudopotential plane-wave calculations. We did not find sufficient dynamical and electronic signatures that may indicate a first or second thermodynamic phase transition from the bct to fcc phase.
