Abstract

We present data which show that electron emission from the DX center is sensitive to the Poole-Frenkel effect. We demonstrate that this result implies that the DX center is an L effective-mass state of the donor impurity accompanied by a small lattice relaxation. We show that all the observations so far obtained on this center are in agreement with this model.
