Transient capacitance measurements have been performed on Schottky barriers on n-GaAs containing the deep electron trap associated with oxygen, as a function of hydrostatic pressure. It is found that the oxygen level separates from the conduction band at a linear rate of 3.8±0.3 meV/kbar. From a comparison with published optical data we conclude that most of this variation comes from a pressure-dependent Frank-Condon shift and that the unoccupied level separates very little from the valence band.
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.
