Abstract

A model of one-electron states is developed for the energy levels of substitutional chromium ions in GaAs. This strong-crystal field approach allows for t2- and e-type states of the ions Cr4(d2) Cr3(d3) Cr2(d4) and Cr(d5) in a Td environment. A great deal of the reported experimental evidence can be reconciled in a uniform picture by taking into account donor- and acceptor-like processes and internal transitions of these oxidation states. These deliberations are supported by cryo-temperature cathodoluminescence measurements in the near-infrared range.
