Abstract
The electronic properties of a-plane and m-plane InN have been investigated by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, infrared reflectivity, and surface space-charge calculations. Electron accumulation has been observed at the surface of nonpolar InN and the surface Fermi level has been found to be lower than previously observed on InN samples. A high electron density in the InN close to the interface with GaN was found in each nonpolar InN sample. (c) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3488821]
