Abstract
The energy spectra of chalcogen impurities in germanium are studied by photoconductivity, optical absorption, and photoluminescence. The previously found excited states of these impurities are identified. The observed excited states of tellurium (Te+) and selenium (Se+) ions are shown to be associated with the Γ and L points of the germanium Brillouin zone, respectively.
