Popis: Group theory states that the spectroscopy of excitons in GaN epilayers grown with biaxial stress on M Plane (10–10)-oriented substrates is strongly anisotropie in the growth plane, in contrast to the situation if growth occurs on conventional C plane substrates. In addition, we predict existence of nine radiative transitions instead of five, three for each family of A, B, and C excitons. We calculate the in-plane anisotropy and show that, due to the crossed configuration of the wurtzite crystal field and the built-in strain one, the A exciton is significantly coupled to the electromagnetic field in π polarization (E//c).
