abstract = {Within the ternary system Ga-O-N we performed experimental
and theoretical investigations on the thermodynamics,
structure and kinetics of new stable and metastable
compounds.We studied the ammonolysis of beta-Ga2O3 at
elevated temperatures by means of ex situ X-ray diffraction,
ex situ neutron diffraction, and in situ X-ray absorption
spectroscopy (XAS). From total diffraction pattern
refinement with the Rietveld method we analyzed the anionic
occupancy factors and the lattice parameters of beta-Ga2O3
during the reaction. Within the detection limits of these
methods, we can rule out the existence of a crystalline
oxynitride phase that is not derived from wurtzite-type GaN.
The nitrogen solubility in beta-Ga2O3 was found to be below
the detection limit of about 2-3 $at.\%$ in the anionic
sublattice. The kinetics of the ammonolysis of beta-Ga2O3 to
alpha-GaN and of the oxidation of alpha-GaN to beta-Ga2O3
was studied by means of in situ X-ray absorption
spectroscopy. In both cases the reaction kinetics could be
described well by fitting linear combinations of beta-Ga2O3
and alpha-GaN spectra only, excluding that other crystalline
or amorphous phases appear during these reactions. The
kinetics of the ammonolysis can be described well by an
extended Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorow model with
nucleation and growth of GaN nuclei, while the oxidation
kinetics can be modeled by a shrinking core model where
Ga2O3 grows as a layer. Investigations by means of TEM and
SEM support the assumptions in both models. To investigate
the structure and energetics of spinel-type gallium
oxynitrides (gamma-galons) we performed first-principles
calculations using density-functional theory. In addition to
the ideal cubic gamma-Ga2O3 we studied gallium deficient
gamma-galons within the Constant-Anion-Model.In highly
non-stoichiometric, amorphous gallium oxide of approximate
composition GaO1.2 we found at a temperature around 670 K an
insulator-metal transition, with a conductivity jump of
seven orders of magnitude. We demonstrate through
experimental studies and density-functional theory
calculations that the conductivity jump takes place at a
critical gallium concentration and is induced by
crystallization of stoichiometric beta-Ga2O3 within the
metastable oxide matrix. By doping with nitrogen the
critical temperature and the conductivity in the highly
conducting state can be tuned. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All
