Abstract

We investigated free carriers related optical absorption in GaN in hydrostatic pressures up to 30 GPa. The disappearance of this absorption at pressures close to 18 GPa was explained by trapping electrons resulting from the shift of nitrogen vacancy related donor level into the GaN energy gap at high pressure. We estimated the energetic position of this level at atmospheric pressure to be about 0.8 eV above the conduction band minimum.
