The controversy about the band gap of indium nitride is discussed. It is shown by considering the electron effective mass in different direct-gap II-VI and III-V semiconducting compounds that the controversy may be resolved by measuring the electron effective mass in indium antimonide samples showing a band gap of 0.7 eV.Davydov et al. [1] have presented experimental results on photoluminescence, excitation spectroscopy and infrared absorption, and concluded that the band gap of indium nitride is 0.7 eV. There have been a few other reports [2-4] confirming their finding. On the other hand, till these results were reported, all the experiments gave a value of 1.9-2
