Abstract

The DX center has been studied by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy in series of GaAs-Ga1-xAlxAs (x = 0.3) and GaAs-AlAs short period superlattices. The existence or not of this center can be understood if its energy level is linked to the L miniband. This suggest a possible way to suppress them by using specific superlattices.
