Abstract

The double acceptor states of chromium, cobalt and nickel were identified by means of the optical and transport measurements under external fields such as hydrostatic pressure, uniaxial stress and magnetic field. The axial fields enable us to observe optical line splittings, which give information about defect symmetries. This technique has been used to identify a double acceptor state of nickel in the GaAs energy gap. High pressure eliminates a degeneracy between defect levels and crystal bands. This leads to activation of new charge states of some impurities. In the case of chromium and cobalt impurities, their double acceptor levels were found to be degenerate with the conduction band of GaAs. A trend existing for the energies of the double acceptor levels permits us to conclude that there will be no other acceptors among the transition metal impurities in GaAs.
