Abstract

Combination of tetrahedral and octahedral based nitrides are explored. The two cases of MnGaN and ScGaN with low Mn and Sc fractions are examined. It is found that for the MnGaN case, the Mn is incorporated under N rich conditions with little lattice change. However, for the ScGaN case, the Sc is incorporated onto the Ga sites but with a local bond angle distortion.
