188viated from the theoretical predictions, particularly at high fields.(2) Three distinctive regions are observed from the iV-versus-G plot: region I, I 8^G , (r=r n o); region II, J s ocG 5/4 , (rocAn~1 12 ), and region III, I 8 ccG r , (r= 2-2.5), (TCCA»-* 0= 1-1.5).(3) The PME open-circuit voltage is found to decrease with increasing temperature as well as with decreasing photoinjection.(4) The relative photoconductance G/Go has a maximum value around 20 °K and decreases with either increase or decrease in temperatures.(5) The PME apparent lifetime r is decreased with increasing photoinjection and reaches a constant value r n o at very-high-injection levels.(6) The high-injection electron lifetime r"o is found to decrease with decreasing temperature, indicating that the electron-capture cross section is increased with decreasing temperature.(7) The effect of trapping in regions I and II and for r>20°K can be completely ignored, and the assumption that A n = Ap for these two regions is experimentally verified.(8) The effective carrier mobility is found to decrease with increasing photoinjection, which can be attributed to the increase in the ionized impurity scattering as the photoinjection is increased.In addition, the flaw level is believed to be acceptortype and located in the lower half of the band gap.A comparison of observed and calculated line positions in a donor-acceptor pair spectrum yields a value of €(0) = 10.75±0.1 for the GaP static dielectric constant at 1.6°K. Earlier analyses of pair spectra assumed e (0) = 11.1, the value obtained from Raman-scattering measurements at 300°K. The new value of e(0) necessitates a small revision in the ionization energies of some donors and acceptors.
