Abstract

Photo-Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy with 1.38 eV light reveals a new level with thermal activation energy 0.2 eV of DX centers in silicon doped Alx Ga1-xAs (x = 0.26) for the first time. The observation of this level directly proves the negative-U properties of DX centers and the existence of thermodynamically metastable state DX.
