Abstract
Band gap measurements have been carried out in strained and relaxed InxGa1-xN epilayers with x > 0.25. Values of x were determined from x-ray diffraction (XRD) of relaxed films. Band gaps measured by both Photoluminenscence (PL) and optical transmission measurements gave equivalent results, indicating the absence of a Stokes shift. Bowing parameters for both strained and relaxed films were determined to be 3.42 eV and 4.11 eV, respectively. The dependence of the band gap shift, Δ}eg, on strain is presented. The dependence of the opticla properties of InGaN on film thickness will also be discussed.Citation
