A survey of the recent progress on the properties of transition-metal impurities in the most common III-V compounds GaAs, InP and GaP is presented. A summary of experimental techniques available for identifying deep centers and/or locating deep levels in the band gap is given. The author concentrates on 3d isolated impurities, giving the known energy levels of Fe-group substitutional impurities in the three compounds. Complexes involving these impurities are also considered. In addition, 4d, 5d and rare earth impurities are briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
