摘要
A structural model for DX centers in Al(x)Ga1-xAs alloys which explains their unusual properties in terms of two distinct bonding configurations for donor impurities is proposed. The results of our ab initio self-consistent pseudopotential calculations show DX to be a "negative-U" defect center. It results from a large lattice relaxation which is different for a Group IV than a Group VI donor. The proposed structural model proivides a satisfactory explanation of the properties of DX centers.
