Combined thermoelectric-resistivity measurements and micro-Raman experiments have been performed on single heavily Si-doped GaN wires. In both approaches, similar carrier concentration and mobility were determined taking into account the non-parabolicity of the conduction band. The unique high conductivity of Si-doped GaN wires is explained by a mobility µ=56 cm2 /V s at a carrier concentration n = 2.6 10^20 /cm 3. This is attributed to a more efficient dopant incorporation in Si-doped GaN microwires as compared to Si-doped GaN planar layers. (c) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
