摘要
We analyze electron capture on a defect that exhibits no electron-phonon interaction. In this ease, capture occurs by a cascade mechanism via the defect excited states. In direct-band-gap materials, when the temperature is too high to allow the filling of the GAMMA-excited states at the bottom of conduction band, capture takes place via the excited states of a higher band, provided that they are deep enough. Experimental evidence for capture via the excited states of the L and X bands is provided for several defects or impurities in InP, GaAs, and related alloys.
