Abstract
The origin of the non-exponential behaviour of the previously reported [2] dark capacitance transients from red-emitting GaP LED's has been investigated in detail. In particular, the effects of the electric field and the junction edge-region on hole-emission from the 0.75 eV level has been studied. A small apparent electric-field enhancement of the emission rate has been shown to be caused predominantly by junction edge effects.
