摘要
The density and temperature dependence of the exciton dephasing time of two hexagonal GaN films on sapphire is measured using degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM). The residual 4 ps dephasing time at low temperature and density is caused by exciton-impurity scattering. We present a theory of DFWM for various amount of inhomogeneous broadening. Good agreement of the temperature dependence of the dephasing time is found between theory and experiment. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
