摘要: We have systematically studied the strain dependence of free-exciton resonance energies in wurtzite GaN by photoreflectance measurements using well-characterized samples. The experimental data been analyzed appropriate Hamiltonian for valence bands and determined values crystal field splitting, spin–orbit shear deformation potential constants, energy gap unstrained crystal. Discussions are given on gaps, effective masses, binding ground states as well valence-band parameters.
