Photoinduced recharging phenomena are studied at low temperatures ( T < 80 K) on n‐type and semi‐insulating GaAs:V by optical absorption, C‐EPR, and TD‐EPR. Illumination with hv exc > > 1.05 eV into the photoionization absorption α II excites electrons into the conduction band and the recharging V Ga 3++ e ecb → V Ga 2+takes place monitored by optical absorption and EPR. The centre responsible for α II appears to be a V‐containing complex of unknown structure, rechargable under illumination from (V–X) into (V–X) + . The V 2+ (II) centre measured by TD‐EPR is shown to be a second V‐containing complex different from (V–X). The interpretation of all experiments does not require a V‐related mid‐gap level.
