Gallium nitride epitaxial layer grown by molecular beam epitaxy and bulk crystal grown at high pressure were examined by using X-ray diffraction methods, and by optical absorption at a wide temperature range. The free electron concentration was 6 × 10^{17} cm^{-3} for the layer and about 5 × 10^{19} cm^{-3} for the bulk crystal. The experiments revealed a different position of the absorption edge and its temperature dependence for these two kinds of samples. The structural examinations proved a significantly higher crystallographic quality of the bulk sample. However, the lattice constants of the samples were nearly the same. This indicated that a rather different electron concentration was responsible for the different optical properties via Burstein-Moss effect.
