“…23 (1988) [1][2][3] -under a low-temperature photoexcitation it transforms into a different configuration, EL2 has been extensively studied for the past five years and its properties have been the subject of several recent review papers [4][5][6][7]. As a final result, this metastability which manifests by photoquenching behaviour of photocapacitance [3], photoconductivity [8], electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) [9], photoluminescence and optical absorption [10,11] has become a kind of specific fingerprint for the presence of EL2.…”
