摘要: We present experimental results showing that at hydrostatic pressure exceeding approximately 0.3 GPa the $\mathrm{EL}2$ metastable state becomes optically active in both $n$-type and semi-insulating GaAs, pressure-induced optical recovery (PIOR) can be easily observed. PIOR is practically full extremely efficient (with an efficiency comparable with of photoquenching process). The proper choice energy illuminating light allows reversible cycles subsequent characteristic intra-$\mathrm{EL}2$ absorption 5 K. a few orders magnitude more than pure processes already reported for atmospheric pressure.
