Abstract

A model of the exciton bound to stacking faults (SF) in GaN is suggested. It is shown that SFs are potential wells (depth ∼ 120 meV) for electrons and potential barriers (∼ 60 meV) for holes. The binding energy of the exciton at stacking faults is estimated as 30 − 60 meV. The 364 nm line in GaN photoluminescence is attributed to excitons at stacking faults.
