The reinterpretation of the EPR investigations of electron irradiated and doped zinc oxide reveal that the EPR signal with the g ‐factor near 1.96 has to be attributed to the conduction electron. Oxygen vacancies with the EPR signal near 1.99 solely can be created by electron irradiation or strong mechanical damaging. These results are exclusively compatible with the assumption that zinc oxide contains excess zinc in the form of zinc interstitials.
