A TSDC band is obtained, revealing the presence of dipoles, which could be attributed to DX--d+ pairs as indeed predicted by O'Reilly [Appl. Phys. Lett. 55, 1409 (1989)]. The data are fitted by relaxation time distribution approach yielding an average activation energy of 0.108 eV. This is the most striking feature of our data, since this energy has approximately the same value of the DX center binding energy.2658-2660engDipole relaxation current in n-type AlxGa1-xAsArtigo10.1063/1.110795WOS:A1993MF86000024Acesso restritoWOSA1993MF86000024.pdf
