Two homogeneous deformation paths under uniaxial tension and shear are modeled for the wurtzite (B4) to rocksalt (B1) phase transformation of AlN by ab initio density functional theory. The B4 ? B1 transition is a two-stage process along the deformation paths: an anti-parallel vertical movement of A
