| Strong electric-field enhancement of the thermal emission rate of holes from the doubly ionized charge state of the EL2 defect was revealed with the deep-level transient spectroscopy in p-type GaAs and analyzed in a model of phonon-assisted tunnel effect. Similar dependence observed for the electric field directions parallel to three main crystallographic axes suggests tetrahedral symmetry of the defect which is consistent with its identification as the arsenic antisite. |
