Hall measurements are performed in the temperature region 60 to 900 K on undoped and Zn‐doped p‐type GaP crystals grown by the SSD method. The p(T)‐curves of undoped samples show a small step caused by the presence of a medium deep acceptor with an activation energy (0.18 ± 0.02) eV beside the shallow acceptor carbon. Carbon is present in a low concentration in the Zn‐doped samples, too. The parameters (activation energy, concentrations) of the two acceptors in both types of samples are determined by an equation cubic in p.
