Abstract
Electron holography has been used to measure the electric potential around edge and screw dislocations in n-GaN viewed in a near end-oil geometry. It is shown that the potential at edge dislocations is 2V below that in the bulk consistent with a negative charge of 2 electrons/c (c = 0.52nm). Preliminary results, which suggest that screw dislocations are also negatively charged, are discussed.
