摘要
Several As antisite-interstitial complexes are considered as models for the EL2 center in GaAs. Large-scale electronic-structure calculations show that the binding energy of the complex is insufficient to account for the annealing properties of EL2. The electronic structure of the complexes is also in disagreement with the majority of the experimental data. The isolated As(Ga) remains thus the best candidate for the EL2 renter. Some of the antisites may be associated with interstitials, but the salient properties of EL2 are due to the antisite rather than to the interstitial or the complex.
