The photo-reflectance (PR) technique to
determine the band-gap energy of
semiconductor. PR detects the modulated
reflectance from the semiconductor surface
induced by the laser irradiation.
Quantum Efficiency (QE) measurement
system. QE is the ratio of the number of
carriers collected by the solar cell to the
number of irradiated photons. 500 nm

・The transversal optical (TO) and
longitudinal optical (LO) mode
are related to the both Zinc-blende
and Wurtzite structures.
・E2H is the transvesal optical mode
related to the Wurtzite structure.
・Surface optical(SO) mode is attri-
-buted to the crystalline surface.
