Short-time heat treatments in a H2 flow, and under an As vapor, have been performed on n-type and p-type GaAs crystals. Acceptors are created at the surface and proceed to the interior. The changes in carrier concentration as function of As vapor pressure showed the acceptors to be associated with As vacancies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
