Abstract:
Strong interaction between residual donor impurities and radiation defects was evidenced by studying the photoluminescence spectra of bound excitons in fast-electron (E=4 MeV) irradiated n-InP epilayers. A diminution of the conductivity compensation degree with the dose of electron irradiation has been observed, which proves to be connected with the intensive formation of deep (Ec-0.4 eV) radiation donor-type defects.
