Excitonic electroreflectance spectra of hexagonal GaN — •Steve Lenk and Erich Runge — Institut für Physik, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Germany

We calculate the bandstructure near the Γ-point of A-, B-, and C-excitons in hexagonal GaN in the presence of an external electric field. The parametrization of Chuang and Chang [1] is used. The importance of excitons for the interpretation of electroreflectance spectroscopy was emphasized by several experimental groups, but only recently theoretical calculations were presented [2]. We derive the imaginary part of the dielectric function from a numerical solution of the excitonic Schrœdinger equation in a finite field, taking into account the full 6x6 valence band structure. Via Kramers-Kronig-Relation the real part of the dielectric function is evaluated. The derivative of the dielectric function yields the ER spectra. In particular, we compare the theoretical field-dependent oscillator strengths with experimental data.
