Abstract
LO phonon‐overdamped plasmon coupled modes in n‐type epitaxial films of β‐SiC have been measured in the carrier concentration range from 6.9×1016 to 2×1018 cm−3. The carrier concentrations and damping constants are determined by line‐shape fitting of the coupled modes and compared with the values derived from Hall measurements. The concentrations obtained from the two methods agree fairly well. The Faust–Henry coefficient determined from the fitting is 0.35. The line‐shape analysis of the coupled mode has shown that the dominant scattering mechanisms in β‐SiC are deformation‐potential and electro‐optic mechanisms.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
