摘要
By using a tight-binding based ab-initio method, we have investigated the atomic and electronic core structures of the threading ((a) over right arrow + (c) over right arrow) -mixed dislocation in wurtzite gallium nitride. For this dislocation, two core configurations were found to occur: a 5/7-atoms ring and a complex double 5/6-atoms ring configurations. Both core configurations were found to induce in the bandgap as well deep as shallow gap states.
