Abstract
Strong evidence is given of electron-hole-pair trapping at a deep center in InP. The observation of this new kind of metastable state, which had been theoretically predicted, is made possible because of the small value of the recombination rate between the two carriers in a wide temperature range. A model in terms of configuration coordinate diagram is proposed to account for this unusual behavior.Keywords
