摘要：

We determine the anisotropic electron effective mass and mobility parameters in wurtzite InN thin films with free electron concentration N from 1.8 X 10(17) cm(-3) to 9.5 X 10(18) cm(-3) using Infrared Magneto-optic Generalized Ellipsometry. The room-temperature measurements were carried out with magnetic fields up to 4.5 T. For the Gamma-point we estimate m(perpendicular to)* = 0.047mo and m(parallel to)* = 0.039mo; for polarization perpendicular and parallel to the c-axis, respectively. Scattering by impurities or ionized donors may explain the decrease of mobility for polarization parallel to the c-axis from 1600 cm(2)/(VS) to 800 cm(2)/(VS) with increase in N, where the perpendicular mobility is further decreased, likely caused by additional grain boundary scattering.
