Resumo

The influence of Ga2O3 polymorphism on lattice vibrations and the temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties is investigated within the framework of density functional theory, employing an exchange-correlation functional with generalized gradient corrections. The atomic structures and binding energies of four polymorphs are predicted, along with their energetic stability and pressure dependence. The dynamic stability of alpha-, beta-, delta-, and kappa-Ga2O3 is assessed through the dispersion of acoustic phonon branches. Phonon band structures and densities of states are computed to analyze their effects on thermodynamic properties and heat capacity as a function of temperature. The results, including Debye temperatures, are compared with other ab initio calculations and experimental data. (AU)
