11. A preliminary calculation showed that the observed crystallographic relationship (h-GaN[1010]∥GaAs[110]) minimized the mean distance between GaN and AlAs lattice points at early stages of the growth. This suggests that strain as well is minimized by h-GaN[1010]∥GaAs[110].

16. Direct growth of GaN on GaAs above 700 °C resulted in a phase mixture. Therefore, the two-step growth was adopted.
