Abstract

The metastability of the EL2 and DX defects in GaAs and Ga1-x AlxAs alloys is discussed in the context of recent hydrostatic pressure and photo-EPR results. A unified model is presented based on the metastable trapping of carriers in excited effective-mass (EM) states derived from secondary conduction band (CB) minima. The metastability is attributed to small lattice relaxation effects.
