Abstract

Measurements of the optical Hall effect in naturally doped high-quality wurtzite-structure InN thin films by generalized ellipsometry reveal that both the surface and the interior (bulk) free electron densities decrease with powerlaw dependencies on the film thickness. We discover a significant deviation between the bulk electron and dislocation densities. This difference is attributed here to the existence of surface defects with activation mechanism different from bulk dislocations and identifies the possible origin of the so far persistent natural n-type conductivity in InN. We further quantify the anisotropy of the C-point effective mass.
