Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A study of the electrical and optical properties of the Se deep donor states in AlGaAs:Se grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) process is reported. A novel experimental technique is presented to determine the absolute energy and the true density of the deep donor. The characteristics of the Se deep donor states are obtained from deep level transient spectroscopy, photoluminescence, photocapacitance, Hall effect measurements, isothermal capacitance transient measurements, and a quasistatic capacitance voltage technique. It is found that the Se dopant gives rise to at least two energy levels in the band gap. One is the generally observed deep donor level, commonly called the DX level and the other is a new shallower donor state which also exhibits DX-like properties. The concentration of the shallower state is less than 5% of the deep donor density. The densities of both donors increase with the mole fraction of HSe used during MOVPE growth. Thermal emission activation energies of 0.29±0.01 and 0.24±0.01 eV were found for the deep and shallower donor states, respectively, for 0.23≤x≤0.41. The Se donor ionization energies relative to the Γ minimum are determined for samples with different AlAs mole fractions, and also, the true densities of Se donors are obtained. We propose a macroscopic model for the emission and capture mechanisms of Se donors in AlGaAs, which allows a consistent interpretation of the results obtained by different measurement techniques and provides a natural explanation for the low temperature Hall density saturation phenomenon and the persistent photoconductivity effect.
