Vol. 93, No. 5 donor level crossings (magnetic degeneracy) due to the anisotropy of the effective mass. This fact must give rise to proper electric dipole moment of t h e e x c i t e d neutral impurity [at 9.9 T a n d at 3 5 . 5 T for Si] and consequently to anomalous impurity polariz a t i o n a n d to n e w r e s o n a n c e s in elastic scattering since the long-range carrier-donor interaction arises. The spectral problem is solved in the framework of effective mass approximation and the variational method for the appropriate Sr~dinger equation solution is u s e d . Our choice for trial wave function is b a s e d on t h e m a x i m u m a c c o u n t of their asymptotic and symmetric properties. Found solutions can be used for matrix element calculations particularly for the calculation of the impurity dipole moment and for finding impurity potential which determines free charge carrier scattering.

PHOTOLUMINESCENCE STUDY OF SHALLOW IMPURITIES LOCALIZATION IN TRANSMUTATION DOPED GaAs V.A. Bykovsky, V.[. Khit'ko, V.F. Shoh and V.[. Utenko Recearch Institute of RadiomateFials, Kizhevatova 86, 220115 Minsk, Belarus The accepter Localization o£ shallow transmutaLed ialpu[itles (Ge, gn), compiexation of mesidual impurities (C, Si) and cadiation induced de£ects, mechanisms oK radiative recombination in epitaxial layers and bulk GaAs crystals doped by the neutEon transmutation (ND) and photo nuclear reaction (PND) methods were investigated by low temperature (T= 4.2 K) photoluminescenee (PL). The accepter localization of transmuted Ge atoms is stable in the course of annealing up to T=550°C ~ r w~akly NTD epitaxial layers (n< 5*lO--cm -).The intensities oK PL bands due conduction band-accept or, donor-accepter pair transit4ions with participation of Ge accepters are comparable with that for residual accepters (C, 8i) in starting material. The intensive PL bands of transomted Zn accepters were found in PND epitaxial layers, but Ge accepter band is extremely weakly. After annealing at 400-600"C for slightly NTD bulk GaAs ( n< 5"i016cm -3) the main P5 band is due Ge transmuted accepters. But after high temperature annealing (T> 700°C) the intensities of PL bands of C,Si residual accepters are restored and Ge accepter PL band is weakly. Such behaviour is attributed to the formation and breakdown nonradiative recombination centres including the residual accepters (C, Si) and radiation induced defects. The new zero phonon lines with participation of shallow amphoteric impurities (Ge, Si) and transition metals (Cr, Fe) were found. The model of centres includiing shallow accepters of IV group in As sites and interstitial atoms of transition metals is discussed.
