Expand description

Measured (not X-ray) density of wurtzite GaN, 6.1 g/cm³, temperature not stated.

R. Juza and H. Hahn, “Über die Kristallstrukturen von Cu3N, GaN und InN”, Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 239, 282 (1938), doi:10.1002/zaac.19382390307 (closed access, not opened), as recorded in the Crystallography Open Database entry 1010168 (public domain): _exptl_crystal_density_meas 6.1, with that paper’s cell a = 3.180(4) Å, c = 5.166(5) Å. Printed to two figures, so half a unit in the last place is 8.2e-3 relative; this is the tolerance of the number-density test against GAN_LATTICE_CONSTANTS.
