Description

Spectroscopic observations of high-quality wurtzite InN have shown that oxygen is easily incorporated in the crystal by thermal treatments in the air. Incorporation of oxygen may play a key role in determining the apparent properties of InN including the bandgap and the lattice constant. It is shown that Raman scattering is a sensitive tool to probe the oxygen incorporation process and associated deterioration in crystallinity
