Abstract

A new model for low-temperature recombination of conduction electrons to ionized donors in GaAs is proposed. It assumes that the conduction electron is captured into the ground state of shallow impurity by simultaneous emission of two LA phonons. From a comparison of computed capture rate with recent experimental results the estimated value of the two-phonon deformation potential is d 2LA = 0.02 eV.
