Abstract

Deep Level Transient Spectroscopies (DLTS) and capacitance transient techniques have been applied to GaAs:Si and to Ga1−xAlxAs:Te (x=0.35) under quasi-hydrostatic pressure using a diamond anvil cell. By substituting the experimental pressure coefficients of the defect energies into a model proposed by Li and Yu (Solid State Commun. 61, 13 (1987)) we concluded that both the DX center in the GaAlAs alloy and the pressure-induced deep donor (PIDD) in GaAs have large lattice relaxations associated with them.
