Internal structure of free excitons in GaN

• Polarized photoluminescence is used to study the fine structure of free excitons in thick GaN layers grown on differently oriented sapphire substrates. The singlet-triplet splitting of the A exciton is measured and the exchange interaction constant in GaN is determined. For the samples grown on the a-plane sapphire, splitting of the A and B excitons induced by the uniaxial in-plane stress is also observed.
