Temperature dependent dielectric function and the E0 critical points of hexagonal GaN from 30 to 690 K

The complex dielectric function ɛ and the E0 excitonic and band-edge critical-point structures of hexagonal GaN are reported for temperatures from 30 to 690 K and energies from 0.74 to 6.42 eV, obtained by rotating-compensator spectroscopic ellipsometry on a 1.9 μm thick GaN film deposited on a c-pl...
