Abstract

We present a theoretical study of the optical properties of the GaN (1010) surface. We employed a semi-empirical tight-binding method to calculate the surface electronic structure. The parameters were adjusted to reproduce the correct band structure of the bulk wurzite GaN. These parameters were interpolated to the surface using Harrison’s rule. From the surface electronic structure the surface dielectric response was obtained. The dielectric response is analized in terms of surface-surface, and surface-bulk electronic transitions.
