Abstract
Energy levels within the band gap of semiconductors play an important role in both the physics and the technology of semiconductors. They control mobility and lifetime of free carriers and give rise to both transitions connected with luminescence emission and radiationless transitions. While luminescence results from radiating relaxation, a considerable amount of the relaxation usually occurs within nonradiative processes.
