Description

A series of fast neutron-irradiated GaAs samples (neutron fluence range of 2 x 1015--2.5 x 1017 cm-2) has been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The EPR spectra at 9 GHz exhibit a broad (approx.1 kG) Lorentzian singlet at groughly-equal2.09 superimposed on the As/sub Ga/ quadruplet. The singlet intensity scales linearly with neutron fluence as does that of the quadruplet. The presence of this new defect has not been reported in as-grown GaAs known to have large concentrations of As/sub Ga/ defects. EPR measurements at 35, 159, and 337 GHz indicate that the singlet linewidth increases with the microwave frequency
