The iron impurity atom state in GaAs and GaP is studied by emission Mössbauer spectroscopy. The iron atoms substitute for gallium atoms and have a tetrahedral surrounding. The electron configuration for a neutral state of these centres (Fe)° is 3d 5 4s 0.52 p 1.56 (in GaAs) or 3d 5 4s 0.79 p 2.37 (in GaP), while in the ionized state the population of the 3d shell of iron is increased (3d 6 ). The process of fast electron exchange via the valence band between the (Fe)° and (Fe) − centres at 295 K is observed in slightly overcompensated GaP. For E (Fe) – E (Co) a value of – (0.035 ± 0.002)eV is obtained where E (Fe) and E (Co) are the iron and cobalt levels in GaP, respectively.
