Wurtzite structure[edit]

Should mention that: due to the wurtzite structure strong built-in electric fields occur, which arise from spontaneous polarisation and if strained, from piezo-electric polarisation. This reduces the efficiency, of e.g. InGaN/GaN or AlGaN/GaN LEDs and lasers. Alternatively it makes these class of material materials suitable candidates for high temperature strain-sensors or ultra-sonic emitters.

And maybe use nanometers instead of picometers for the SI bond-lengths.

German picture[edit]

someone use the german website's picture, it is much better —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.240.16 (talk) 01:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unit cell[edit]

The picture of the unit cell is wrong. An explanation can be found here:

Lattice parameters for Wurtzite are incorrect as stated. The reference cited, among others, give the parameters: a = 382 pm, c = 626 pm. (a=325 pm is the ZnO lattice parameter)

Both done. Parameters updated with reliable source, and image replaced with one that better displays the point group symmetry. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 23:43, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
