Abstract

Phonon-plasmon scattering in non-resonant Raman spectroscopy is used to determine the free electron concentration in Si doped GaN films. For various doping concentration and variable temperature the correlation with magneto-transport data is established. The freeze-out of the carrier concentration at low temperature is thus observed in a purely optical detection scheme. We observe a very long transient time of several hours for the carrier concentration as a reaction to temperature variation. This indicates an indirect capture and emission process with a very small cross section. The value of the Faust-Henry coefficient is determined.
