The activation energy and corresponding concentration of an unknown donor level in high-mobility n-type gallium arsenide has been determined. The energy and concentration have been found by fitting a suitable theoretical expression to results of Hall Effect measurements in the range 77–360 °K. The energy found is 0.158 eV below the conduction band.

In this study, the ZnTe thin films were deposited on a glass substrate at a thickness of 400nm using vacuum evaporation technique (2×10-5mbar) at RT. Electrical conductivity and Hall effect measurements have been investigated as a function of variation of the doping ratios (3,5,7%) of the Cu element on the thin ZnTe films. The temperature range of (25-200°C) is to record the electrical conductivity values. The results of the films have two types of transport mechanisms of free carriers with two values of activation energy (Ea1, Ea2), expect 3% Cu. The activation energy (Ea1) increased from 29meV to 157meV before and after doping (Cu at 5%) respectively. The results of Hall effect measurements of ZnTe , ZnTe:Cu films show that all films were (p-type), the carrier concentration (1.1×1020 m-3) , Hall mobility (0.464m2/V.s) for pure ZnTe film, increases the carrier concentration (6.3×1021m-3) Hall mobility (2m2/V.s) for doping (Cu at 3%) film, but  decreases by increasing Cu concentration.

ABSTRACTExperimental and theoretical evidence is presented for oxygen DX centers in AlxGa1−xN. As the aluminum content increases, Hall effect measurements reveal an increase in the electron activation energy, consistent with the emergence of a deep DX level from the conduction band. Persistent photoconductivity is observed in Al0 39Ga0. 61N:O at temperatures below 150 K after exposure to light, with an optical threshold energy of 1.3 eV, in excellent agreement with first-principles calculations. Unlike oxygen, silicon does not exhibit DX-like behavior, in agreement with previous theoretical predictions.

We investigate the defect feature ofAsGaGaAsdefect in gallium arsenide clusters in detail by using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT). Our calculations reveal that the lowest donor level ofAsGaGaAsdefect on the gallium arsenide crystal surface is 0.85 eV below the conduction band minimum, while the lowest donor level of theAsGaGaAsdefect inside the gallium arsenide bulk is 0.83 eV below the bottom of the conduction band, consistent with gallium arsenide EL2 defect level of experimental value (Ec-0.82 eV). This suggests thatAsGaGaAsdefect is one of the possible gallium arsenide EL2 deep-level defects. Moreover, our results also indicate that the formation energies of internalAsGaGaAsand surfaceAsGaGaAsdefects are predicted to be around 2.36 eV and 5.54 eV, respectively. This implies that formation ofAsGaGaAsdefect within the crystal is easier than that of surface. Our results offer assistance in discussing the structure of gallium arsenide deep-level defect and its effect on the material.
