Abstract
A theoretical model has been developed for determining free electron concentration in n-GaAs from characteristic points in the far infrared region of reflection spectra. We show that when determining free electron concentration one should take into account the pasmon–phonon coupling, otherwise free electron concentration will be overestimated. We have calculated electron concentration Nopt as a function of characteristic wave number ν+ which is described by a second order polynomial.
