电场诱导晶格变形和晶格破缺的GaN声子热输运性质

Phonon thermal transport properties of GaN with symmetry-breaking and lattice deformation induced by the electric field

摘要:

电场普遍存在于半导体电子结构中,对声子的热输运产生影响。此外,它是一种常用的方法来调整固体中的热传输。本文采用第一性原理计算,从对称性破缺和晶格形变的角度研究了纤锌矿和锌锌矿结构GAN在有限电场下的声子和热输运性质。研究了电场对Zn掺杂GAN声子输运性质的影响,包括电子密度分布响应和晶格变化响应对声子色散和热导率的影响。结果发现,前者有一个小的,但定性的影响声子色散关系,即,声子分支的分裂,因为它打破了锌晶格的对称性。后者影响晶格对称性和尺寸,导致声子性质的显著变化和热导率的增加。在纤锌矿GAN中,在有限电场作用下,空间群守恒的晶格变化仅在晶格变形的情况下进行了研究,其中热导率在电场作用下随着各向异性的增加而显著降低,这与锌掺杂GAN的变化有很大不同。本文的工作为GaN基信息和电力电子器件的热管理提供了参考。

英文摘要:

Electric fields commonly exist in semiconductor structures of electronics, bringing to bear on phonon thermal transport. Also, it is a popular method to tune thermal transport in solids. In this work, phonon and thermal transport properties of GaN with wurtzite and zincblende structures at finite electric field are investigated using first principles calculations from perspectives of symmetry breaking and lattice deformation. Effects of electric field on phonon transport properties including phonon dispersion and thermal conductivity from response of electron density distribution only and response from lattice changes are studied in zincblende GaN. It is found that the former has a small but qualitative impact on phonon dispersion relations, i.e., splitting of phonon branches, since it breaks symmetry of zincblende lattice. While the latter affects both lattice symmetry and size, causing significant changes of phonon properties and increase of thermal conductivity. In wurtzite GaN, space-group-conserved lattice changes at finite electric field are studied with lattice deformation only, where thermal conductivity decreases at electric fields significantly with increase of anisotropy, much different from the changes in zincblende GaN. This work provides a comprehensive understanding on phonon thermal transport properties in GaN at finite electric field, which promises to benefit phonon transport tuning and provide reference for thermal management in GaN-based information and power electronics.
