Abstract

Based on the charge redistribution effect, as observed by the present authors, and the earlier reported large lattice relaxation and persistent photoconductivity phenomena associated with the EL6 defect seen in doped, undoped, semiinsulating(SI) and low temperature grown GaAs LT-GaAs), it is suggested that this defect be classified as a DX-center. A tentative unified atomic model is proposed for all the native defects EL2, EL3, EL5, and EL6 observed in GaAs.
