Abstract
ZnGa2O4 is a ultra-wide band bandgap transparent oxide with electron transport properties similar to those of the popular b-Ga2O3 but with a higher lattice symmetry. Recent experimental work has been producing high-quality ZnGa2O4 crystals. Here we present our ongoing first-principles modeling work on the structural, thermal, and electronic properties of ZnGa2O4. Elastic stiffness tensor modeling based on symmetry-allowed deformations provides an insight into the effect of symmetry on lattice dynamical properties. We obtain thermodynamical properties such as thermal expansion in the quasiharmonic approximation based on phonons from finite-displacement supercell approach. The phonon dispersions and density of states are compared to those of b-Ga2O3. We find a large number of optical phonons at low energies <15 meV but with higher symmetry by comparison to b-Ga2O3. The large number of optical modes has a signature both in quantum magnetoconductance measurements and in the breakdown field, the latter being a metric relevant for applications in power electronics.
