Deep levels between 0.1 and 1.0 eV in semi-insulating and high resistivity undoped horizontal Bridgman GaAs have been studied by temperature-dependent Hall effect (TDH) and Fourier transform photoconductivity (FTPC). Activation energies at 0.77, 0.426, and 0.15 eV have been observed by TDH. Photoionization thresholds at 1.0, 0.8, 0.56, 0.44, and 0.25 are reported. The photoconductivity thresholds at 0.56 and 0.25 eV are reported for the first time. New features in the 0.44 eV threshold suggest that the defect responsible for this level has a small lattice relaxation and Frank–Condon shift. Possible associations of the FTPC and TDH energies with the deep-level transient spectroscopy levels EL2, EL3, and EL6 are presented.
