| This paper presents for the first time the evident experimental confirmation that EL2 defect, while being in its metastable configuration, traps under hydrostatic pressure an additional electron, i.e. the acceptor-like (EL2*)0/- level enters the energy gap under pressure. We propose that in n-GaAs the EL2 thermal recovery takes always place via the (EL2*)- state. |
