Description

We report on the complex nature of infrared luminescence and absorption in InN films, which cannot be entirely explained by the concept of a conventional narrow-gap semiconductor. In particular, it concerns the detection of peaks near absorption edges by both thermally detected optical absorption and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy and the observation of extraordinarily strong resonant enhancement of emission. To describe the experimental data a model is proposed, which takes into account surface plasmons in metal-like inclusions, modifying the optical properties of InN.
