Abstract The lattice dynamics of wurtzite GaN and AlN is studied within the framework of a rigid-ion model. Short-range interactions up to the third nearest neighbors are described by using a valence-force-field potential and the long-range Coulomb interactions between ions are calculated via an Ewald summation. Phonon dispersion curves, density of states and specific heats are presented.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
