Abstract
We report positron annihilation results on electron irradiated (2.0 MeV) InP. In all samples the average positron lifetime at 300 K increases after irradiation. Three defect lifetimes of 263 ps, 283 ps and 297 ps were found. In electron irradiated n-type InP(S:3.9 1018 cm-3), the 283 ps vacancy recovers between 150 K-200 K, and after annealing at 300 K the 263 ps vacancy remains. In irradiated SI-InP(Fe) a defect lifetime of 297 ps was found after annealing at 300 K. The defect lifetimes were interpreted as Vp (263 ps), VIn (297 ps) and a mixing of the two (283 ps).
