Local coordination, structural softening, and polarization-switching energetics in Sc-alloyed GaN

Sc-alloyed wurtzite nitrides exhibit strongly tunable electromechanical and ferroelectric properties, yet the relationship between their lattice evolution and local bonding environment remains insufficiently established, particularly in Sc$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N. Here, we investigate the structural and local bonding evolution...
