A peak of photoconductivity associated with free excitons has been observed in GaAs. This peak has been investigated as a function of the free electron density, the temperature, and the excitation intensity. A model which takes into account the dissociation of free excitons on ionized acceptors is presented to explain the presence of this peak.
