Time‐resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Zn acceptor in GaN are presented. The EPR measurements revealed a strong line, which was ascribed to either an isolated Zn acceptor or to a complex defect involving Zn. Two photoluminescence lines were analyzed: the well‐known line of exciton bound to Mg acceptor, A Mg X at 3.467 eV (8 K), and a new line that was ascribed to exciton bound to Zn acceptor, A Zn X at 3.456 eV. The radiative decay time of the A Zn X was about 1.4 ns, which was longer than that of the A Mg X line. The longer radiative lifetime suggested a smaller radius of the A Zn X wave function.
