Abstract

Cu diffused GaAs samples have been investigated using different kinds of FΠR techniques and photoluminescence. The results suggest that tne “0.15 eV” level originates from the ioruzation of a neutral, nearly substitutional Cu acceptor at a Ga site. Furthermore, the results indicate a distortion in the [100] direction. The ground state binding energy obtained from the effective-mass-like excited states is 157.8 meV at 6K.
