Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The fundamental material parameters associated with GaN, which are important for the design of devices such as light-emitting diodes and laser diodes, were investigated using large high-quality GaN single crystals fabricated through hydride vapor phase epitaxy using the void-assisted separation method. The thermal-expansion coefficients (298-573 K) along the C[0001], A[11 2- 0], and M[10 1- 0] axes (αC, αA, and αM) were measured. Thermal expansion in each direction, approximately proportional to the temperature, was observed throughout the measured temperature range. Although the thermal-expansion coefficients in the high-temperature range, i.e., αC (573 K)=7.2±0.02× 10-6 K, αA (573 K)=5.7±0.2× 10-6 K, and αM (573 K)=5.8±0.2× 10-6 K, were relatively close to the reported values, the thermal-expansion coefficients along the C axis in the low-temperature range, i.e., αC (298 K)=5.3±0.02× 10-6 K, was significantly larger than the reported values. Thermal conductivities parallel and perpendicular to the C axis were almost the same, i.e., 2.0±0.1 W cm-1 K-1. This value is close to the values reported on the low-dislocation density part of epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN. This could indicate that the defect density of our crystals is very low and that the defects are distributed uniformly throughout the volume. The wavelength dependence of the refractive index and the optical-absorption coefficient was also investigated. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
