Abstract

The kinetics of multiple DX related emission centers are studied using the isothermal Time Analyzed Transient Spectroscopy (TATS) of constant capacitance voltage transients. Four distinct emitting centers have been obtained using higher order TATS in the same silicon doped Al0.33As0.67As sample without use of hydrostatic pressure. Accurate identification of the multiple DX states has allowed a better understanding of the charge redistribution process during capture. Improved resolution due to increase in order of spectroscopy has enabled quantitative fitting of spectral lineshape and thus accounting for degree of nonexponentiality associated with each of the four discrete centers. The capture kinetics of these centers are studied over six orders in magnitude of filling time. The resulting quality of kinetic data makes possible detailed quantitative comparison with kinetics predicted by positive U and negative U models of DX centers. We show that our data is in agreement with positive U model of DX center.
