We show the results of joined studies of the free electron concentration and x-ray diffuse scattering from heavily doped GaAs:Te single crystal as a function of controlled annealings at high temperatures 700–1200°C and Te concentration 1018− 2 1019 cm−3 from the range, where the free electron concentration saturates. Changes of electron concentration caused by annealings are accompanied by structural changes, both being in a high coincidence and reversible versus annealing temperature On a basis of the microscopic model of x-ray diffuse scattering from a solid solution, newly proposed here, we argue that impurity atom pairs arise, locally in a crystal, when the free electron concentration is lowered by annealing. We suppose that the electron localization is caused by impurity atom pairs, supporting recently published results.
