Abstract
Highly anomalous properties of some deep levels have recently been observed in many semiconductor materials, especially in III-V compounds and mixed crystals of them. Perhaps the most spectacular is the observation of the metastable effects such as persistent photoconductivity and photocapacitance quenching; accompanied with anomalous photoexcitation, absorption cross section and non-exponential time kinetics.
Most of the proposed theoretical models try to explain some of this properties neglecting some other important facts. Here a critical comparison between conflicting theoretical models is made and a new model is discussed which might explain the significant features of this complex problem.
