| contents | Let $\mathbb{Z}_4$ denote the ring of integers modulo $4$. The Galois ring GR$(4,m)$, which consists of $4^m$ elements, represents the Galois extension of degree $m$ over $\mathbb{Z}_4$. The constructions of codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ have garnered significant interest in recent years. In this paper, building upon previous research, we utilize the defining-set approach to construct several classes of linear codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ by effectively using the properties of the trace function from GR$(4,m)$ to $\mathbb{Z}_4$. As a result, we have been able to obtain new linear codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ with good parameters and determine their Lee weight distributions. Upon comparison with the existing database of $\mathbb{Z}_4$ codes, our construction can yield novel linear codes, as well as linear codes that possess the best known minimum Lee distance. |
