32. 0 CP structure. In order to consider a possible partial Gaussian broadening of the CP feature of the dielectric function, the exponent no was allowed to vary during the data regression analysis.

34. By means of Hall-effect and high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy measurements an intrinsic electron accumulation layer was observed at the InN surface recently [H. Lu, W. J. Schaff, L. F. Eastman, and C. E. Stutz, Appl. Phys. Lett. 82, 1736 (2003); I. Mahboob, T. D. Veal, C. F. McConville, H. Lu, and W. J. Schaff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 036804 (2004)]. For our samples, the sensitivity of the mid-IR SE data to such an accumulation layer is however too low to yield reliable results, and the plasmon frequency obtained by SE is understood as an average value over the entire film.
