The relative stability and energy of formation of monoclinic and corundum structures, which are, respectively, the lowest energy phases of Ga2O3 and Al2O3, are evaluated for mixed Ga–Al alloys. It is found that in the monoclinic structure, Al shows a strong preference for occupying the octahedral sites. The effects of alternate sites on the band structure and total energy are investigated. The band...
