Abstract

An alternative interpretation of optical absorption spectra due to intracenter transition within EL2 defect in GaAs is provided. The arguments are presented that states originating from the L-valley of the conduction band can account for the presence of the wide absorption band, the no-phonon line and the observed uniaxial stress splittings. Using the analogy to the DX center, this model presents an explanation for the existence of the metastable state of EL2.
