Abstract
A study has been made of the conditions for the formation of impurity centers having an ionization energy E v + 0.1 eV in copper-doped gallium arsenide. Photoconductivity is demonstrated at 10.6 μ. The results of the photoconductivity study are used to calculate the absorption coefficient and cross section for photon capture by these impurity centers.
