“…We have characterized the properties of the deep level defect E3 in several earlier investigations. [16,19,28,33,36,38,42,46,48,53,56,63,82] In these experiments bulk samples obtained from Tokyo Denpa as well as heteroepitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition were used. Overall, about a hundred samples containing the E3 center were and are available.…”
