title: Homogeneous Strain Deformation Path for the Wurtzite to Rocksalt High-Pressure Phase Transition in GaN.
abstract: A homogeneous orthorhombic shear strain deformation path is proposed for the wurtzite to rocksalt high-pressure transformation. Its energetics are calculated from first-principles for GaN. Previous experimental and theoretical studies of the transition pressure are discussed.
